Hope Gangloff's frenetic contours and textures, almost audible in their buzzing electricity, call to mind figurative works by Egon Schiele and Alice Neel. This piece embraces the urgency and subversion of a quick scrawl — of graffiti, the flash mob and the pop-up — in keeping with our era of social and political protest and discourse announced by hashtag.
