Men, Incubi, and Succubi Intertwine in Lisa Yuskavage's New Show

Eliza Jordan
Whitewall
April 18, 2015

Yuskavage, known for her alluring female nudes, now welcomes a new body into her work: the male figure. This series took two years to complete, and is heavily infused with cangiantismo–a method perfected in the Renaissance era by Michaelangelo that offers deliberate, subtle color in areas to depict supernatural, emotional, or psychological charges. A slight shift in every hue and shade sets an undertone of supernatural spirits. Incubi and succubi (sexual demons known in folklore for their responsibility to seduce) interject themselves as the main theme of the show, bouncing between, and taking turns in role, between the men and women.
