Artist’s paintings lurk in the basement t - . . , By Patrick Hambrecht Art Critic V. Joe Broghammer’s pastel paintings all tell a story of a cold, clammy basement where half-human things arc tied up and tortured. His “I fish” show is on display at the Haydon Gallery, 335 N. Eighth St., until April 27. A strong feeling of self-ridicule and con tempt cries out from many of Broghammer’s paintings, particularly “A small town is pre paring for the biggest art show it can afford.” In it, a haphazard collection of garbage is hung by ropes from the ceiling of an empty stage, with a painted banner saying “Explor ing One’s Inner Sel f, a Show By Larry Gerber 1996.” Obviously mocking a gallery show very much like his own, Broghammer questions the very point of his artwork in “A small town.” Again in “Testing the Brick Wall Theory,” an arrow sign points at the barely alive objects in the painting, announcing “the bad artists exhibit.” The dim green light of a scummy pond illuminates many of Broghammer’s paint ings, including “Swimming with a fright ened esophagus, as though we’re seeing his pitiful creations underwater.” The painting shows a naked duck-man blindfolded and hanging from ropes, with a docile expression on his billed face. Beaded ropes arc stuck with fishhooks in his skin, and knives lie carelessly tossed beneath him. It’s hard to tell whether the mallard man is underwater or not, but cither way, his situa tion is unenviable. There’s not much joy in Broghammer’s paintings, only a dull sense of the pathetic and the pitilul, as each of his ugly creatures starves for sanity and attention in its own dirty cellars. The Haydon Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Admis sion is free.
