The House Is Upside-Down (2018), is a collection of 20 ink-on-paper paintings (30” x 22” each), that are presented in a long horizontal or meandering arrangements. Chairs are designed to provide comfort or rest to the human body, and are based on the body’s architecture. In this body of paintings, chairs are presented upside-down, toppled, or abstracted, contradicting the object’s reliability and ability to provide comfort. Whose chairs, whose house, and whose supposed comfort are depicted by these modernist structures? Made during the Trump presidency, these images call into question the stability of “the house” which, in Kaplow’s hands, refers to both the intimate space of the home as well as the larger sense of the word “Domestic” - the national home front.
