Casual Encounters, 2/11 DUMBO Brooklyn
Casual Encounters,
A Group Show Friday, 2/11/11 @ Mighty Tanaka Gallery in DUMBO
Brooklyn.
Mighty Tanaka presents:
Casual Encounters
A Journey Through the Ridiculous, the Absurd and the Extreme
Applying pen to paper is one of the simplest forms of art one can
produce. However, to do it well is a true feat No matter how simple
or complex, the drawing conveys the artist’s id and deepest
subconscious. In our next show at Mighty Tanaka, we present Casual
Encounters, as we take a look at the humorous and otherwise ridiculous
illustrations of what make us human. Featuring the artwork of Lauren
Asta, Jac Atkinson, Abe Lincoln Jr., Rick Midler, Reginald Péan and
RTTP, this show provides an off kilter version of life.
This modern storybook show exemplifies the extremes and absurdities
that one may encounter and the interpretations behind it. From lesbian
orgies to cartoony and graphic introspections, the work of Casual
Encounters is both fun and enticing, with a style of illustration for
everyone.
Ranging from the highly detailed to the sublimely minimal, Casual
Encounters offers the viewer an escape from reality, if only for a
night.
