BITCH ARTIST'S FIRST SOLO SHOW IN MANHATTAN
New works on suede from New York's favorite canine abstract expressionist artist, Tillamook Cheddar, aka Tillie

A Jack Russell Terrier bitch born 19 January 1999, Tillamook Cheddar is taking the art world by storm. Coming off a nearly sold-out exhibition last month at 105 Devoe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Tillie makes her mark in Manhattan with a showing of her current works at 176 Grand.

MERKIN, presented by 176 Grand in conjunction with RICE, ñ and tillamookcheddar.com, is a vital selection of new drawings and sculpture by Tillamook Cheddar. The artist explores the medium of suede mat board as a platform for her vibrant color transfers, and lends her toothy touch to one of America's most enduring icons, the baseball.
