Making an aesthetic analogy between Harmony Korine’s dynamic and unsettling films and novels (Kids, Gummo, Spring Breakers) and his low-rent abstract expressionist paintings would be a simplistic way to go — except he himself makes this connection. Korine speaks adoringly about the allure of marginalized subjects and materials, and certainly the emotional power of a sexy subculture is central across his career. In his large-scale, mixed-media paintings, he embraces the muscular chaos of classical expressionism but re-creates its messy radiance with random crap such as house paint, electrical tape, squeegees and scraps of bubble wrap, plus pure chutzpah.
