Cade Tompkins Projects presented an exhibition of contemporary works on paper at Master Drawings New York 2022. Cade’s booth was at The Pierre Hotel, New York, NY. Thank you Seph Rodney who included a review of Gaspee Down the Line in his article SUBTLE AND FINESSED DEPICTIONS AT THE MASTER DRAWINGS FAIR for Hyperallergic on January 24, 2022.
from the article: One of the first galleries I visited was Cade Tompkins Projects which was ensconced in the depths of the Pierre Hotel, which I only found by having the maître d’ guide me there. It was worth the initial disorientation to find Allison Bianco’s work “Gaspee Down the Line” (2020) which depicts a fantastical beach scene with waves pitched up to look like watery pinnacles and extravagant, prodigal visual elements that I wouldn’t think would belong in such a vista. Bianco’s placed a line of chartreuse like an errant bolt of lightning, a neon pink hill in the distance and few bananas tossed in the air as a kind of inside joke that has something to do with the artist and her siblings playing a prank on their grandmother.
