A Second Crazy Night

Two down, six to go...in the miraculous Chanukah count. And who better to embody over-the-top celebration than BOB GORCHOV. Characters in his paintings often personify mood swings, in a positive sense, as he translates rushes of joy, irreverence and frenetic energy onto the canvas. As Bob sometimes does, he cites a starting point for this work -- in this case, Grant Wood's "American Gothic" -- but the finished work has pitchforked far away any notion of that antecedent. Only dual figures remain, and with any luck, new inspiration touches us.
