His current show, "Sophie at Night," is on view at Schroeder Romero, Nov. 28-Dec. 22, 2003. For decades artists have been pushing the envelope of unorthodox materials, but "alphabet pasta on starling" establishes a new standard. Born in Monaco and now, at mid-career, based in Brooklyn, Flechemuller's main focus is painting. His imagery is characterized by an obvious fondness for the absurdity lurking just beneath the surface of advertising imagery and popular culture, filtered through a skeptical, post-pop sensibility. Tango (2003), a medium-sized (30 x 34 in.) oil on canvas, gives us a wall-eyed pair of Chihuahuas in a bathetic embrace, cheesy and irresistible. Breakfast (2002), a larger (96 x 96 in.) work painted on masonite, depicts a good-natured gathering of well-groomed male pajama models, while in Birthday Cake (2002), frenzied quintuplet toddlers in matching spectacles work up a sugar high. Somehow, the paintings avoid condescension toward their subject (John Currin, take note). Visitors should not overlook the wall of amusing drawings ($600 each), which also refer to mass visual culture and often feature an interior framing device suggesting a TV or movie screen. Earlier this month, as the show was in its second week, New York was hit with an impressive snowstorm, though gallery owners Lisa Schroeder and Sara Jo Romero were safely ensconced in Miami Beach, soaking up sunshine (and collectors' checks) at the NADA Fair. The talismanic value of the show's funniest painting was thus fulfilled -- superimposed over a wanly smiling little boy in a striped polo shirt are the words, "Thank you God for protecting my art dealer."
