Joyce Pensato: Eyes For You

Mickey, Donald, Batman, Homer Simpson and the South Park kids are all on these walls, and none of them is cute. "I just don't want the work to be nice or sweet," Joyce Pensato said, and you see it in the big black-and-white enamel paintings she made from the 1990s on.

It is the first major European show of the Brooklyn painter since her death in 2019. You start with early still lifes and 1970s Batman drawings from her New York Studio School years, then reach the point where she swapped oil for enamel and brought drawing and painting together. About 20 works come from the ICA Miami version, and more from European collections, including Captain Homer (2015) and The Look Out (2016), lent by KAWS.

The Falckenberg is open without booking on Sundays from 12:00 to 17:00. On Saturdays you can only get in on a booked guided tour.
