Split Fountain

Split Fountain pairs paintings by Samantha Nye and monoprints and frescoes by Todd Stong in the first joint exhibition of their work. The Philadelphia-based artists share a friendship and rich dialogue that is strongly influenced by art history, citing narratives and visual sources from the Baroque period, nineteenth- and twentieth-century art, and pop and camp culture in their work. Both artists foreground the centrality of queer actors in familiar stories of art, pleasure, and history.
