Party At Lucky Chengs is a mixed media painting consisting of silkscreen on muslin, hand cut and sewn pennant flags with fabric confetti, and a fox face. The piece was inspired after I found a multitude of animal hides, and animal parts in the garbage near the garment district, where block long lines of trash bags filled with these throw away bits waited to be picked up by the city trash collection. I took as much as I could carry in an attempt to restore the spirit of the animals through art.

Artwork Description
Abby Goodman
Abby Goodman was born in 1972 in Philadelphia, PA. Desire to learn metallurgy led her to the French Alps, where she apprenticed an ironworker. Upon returning she accepted a job as a welder at a bronze foundry executing bronze sculptures for the public arena. Goodman continued her training at Syracuse University, where she earned a MFA, then moved to New York City. Goodman creates sculptures, paintings, and mixed media installations to share her experiences. She has been included in several publications, including New American Paintings, the New York Times and the cover of Studio Visit Magazine. Her most recent exhibitions include WE COME FROM BROOKLYN, at the Galerie allerART in Bludenz, Austria, 20 in 11 at the Woodward Gallery in NYC, Party At Lucky Chengs, a solo exhibition in the LZ Project Space, and An Island Now Peopled, a two-person show at the Chashama Chelsea Project Space.
