Brooklyn-based artist Sabrina Bockler has a utilitarian view of love. Maybe not in her personal life, but in the way women have had to use love and its institutions to get a leg up in the world. Poison, daggers, drugs, and potions feature prominently in the artist’s newest solo exhibition Coquette at Hashimoto Contemporary NYC. Her newest series of paintings offer high-drama narratives about affection, objectified bodies, and how creatures deemed “helpless” can create their own agency—and chaos.
