His densely built-up paintings portray the artist\u2019s friends and family on a monumental scale, elevating them to the status of Renaissance icons. Huckaby\u2019s work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it was recently featured in the exhibition Monuments to Us. Other venues for his work include the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and The Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

Under A Dismal Boston Skyline
<\/strong>Stone Gallery, 855 Comm Ave<\/em>
This group exhibition examines the city of Boston as a witness to intensely concentrated moments of artistic experimentation in the last few decades.\u00a0Under A Dismal Boston Skyline\u00a0<\/em>takes the group of\u00a0practitioners, collectively labeled the Boston School and who defined artistic activity outside of the mainstream in Boston in the late 1970s and early 1980s, as a launch point. The exhibition explores affinities in materials and conceptual approach with the Boston School and other artists living and working in the city in the ensuing decades.\u00a0With a particular focus on photography, video, and performance\u00a0that challenge archetypes of identity, gender, and community, the exhibition creates a lineage of artists, starting with the 1980s, to those working in recent decades and into the contemporary moment. Presenting seminal work from these periods, this exhibition draws on intersections between the city\u2019s art scene and its counter-cultural underground.\u00a0Participating artists are: Marilyn Arsem (CFA alum), David Armstrong, Creighton Baxter, Genesis Baez, Melanie Bernier, Dead Art Star, Nan Goldin, Maura Jasper, Cindy Kleine, Justin Leiberman, Steve Locke, Mark Morrisroe, Cobi Moules, Esther Solondz, Mike and Doug Starn, Gail Thacker, Shellburne Thurber, Luther Price, Suara Welitoff, and others.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
