Men's Wear
Saturday February 17, 4:00 PM - Sunday April 28
Craven Contemporary 4 Fulling Lane Kent Barns Kent, CT
Craven Contemporary is excited to announce the opening of its new show Chad Etting "Men's Wear".
Chris Brown, co-host of How Long Gone, GQ columnist and consultant writes "Men's Wear" is a new body of work by Etting that focuses the artist's gaze on ads from his Instagram feed. A group of 16 figurative works that feature instantly recognizable men's wardrobe staples. Colorful chore jackets, New Balance sneakers, a Baracuta jacket, cuffed chinos and a Champion crewneck sweatshirt. Etting observes mundane advertisements and ordinary images, the same ones we are bombarded with daily, and crafts them into something we want to ogle and appreciate. Like his previous work, it feels autobiographical but ultimately familiar and relatable. Clothing is universal, and it holds meaning. With "Men's Wear" Etting provides us space to reconsider our relationship with our closets, personal history and modern advertising. Proof that the more personal you make something, the more universal it can become.

A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period —
When March is scarcely here
A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels.
– Emily Dickinson
