Jeffrey Gibson Pleasure Principle , 2017 Acrylic and graphite on rawhide over wood panel inset into wood frame, 21 × 27 × 1¾ in. Ernesto Poma Family Collection Gibson’s work draws upon his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage and incorporates references spanning from club culture and queer theory to literature and art history. This painting—whose title references Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality—has a geometric design, evocative of a Roman mosaic or light reflecting off water in a shallow pool. Gibson’s use of rawhide (untanned animal skin) as a painting support creates an unexpected juxtaposition between geometry and nature. —HJ
