Lyles & King presents Gargantua Eats Himself, Nick Modrzewski’s New York debut. In large acrylic-on-linen works, Modrzewski merges human and animal forms through gestural marks, charcoal, and airbrush, evoking primal energy and fleeting figures. Influenced by Rabelais' Gargantua, the paintings act as consuming, regenerating bodies, with paint serving as both subject and process. His dynamic compositions draw on a lineage of artists exploring abstraction and corporeality.
