Tra Selhtrow by Tim Yu
Grant Barnhart, the artist also known as Tra Selhtrow, put up some new limited edition prints at Duistudio yesterday. His compositions offer distorted narratives inhabited by lucid animals, humans and often a cross between the two. His latest body of work deals with wars in general and takes historical images/icons and places them into one scene. He comments, "Living in a western culture bombarded with images of the Middle East and happenings around the world I wonder when honor and theatrics stopped playing a role in world triumph. Armor turned into fatigues and God turned from beasts and monsters into man." Click on images above for an enlarged view.
All new prints are well priced at $20-$70 and available at Duistudio.

Wangechi Mutu
Wangechi Mutu’s new show “Little Touched” at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is so complete and polished that it feels more like walking into a museum than a gallery. Originally from Kenya, Mutu’s work focuses on the constant exploration and discovery of identity as a woman, immigrant and African in New York City. Known for her lyric collages like “A’gave you” (pictured right), this...

Vinay Somana Ganapathy
Born in southern India, raised in suburban Connecticut and formally trained in Syracuse, Brooklyn artist Vinay Somana Ganapathy draws on multiple influences that inform his imagery and work. Mixing pen, pencil and paint, Vinay’s illustrations are marked by fine, almost-frail line work and sudden bursts of color. Taking slice-of-life inspiration from the city around him and his crew of oddball friends, his drawings are...

Ken Madore
Nightmares, conspiracy theories, mystic symbolism and allegories on family tragedy are all fodder for Brooklyn-based artist Ken Madore's work. Crafting obsessively-detailed and intricate works of ink on paper—often on a huge scale—his work illustrates and illuminates the dark side of human anxiety, fear and regret. Macabre, maybe, but always with a sensitivity for black humor, Madore spends hours and hours layering and texturing his...

Diem Chau and Jen Stark: In Effect
"In Effect," another well-curated exhibition by the good folks at OKOK Gallery opens tomorrow and features new works and a collaboration from Diem Chau and Jen Stark, who both use common materials and turn them into subversive and sometimes hypnotizing works. Apparently we have a collective infatuation with the art of paper cutting, if our videos on Chen Hang Feng and Tom Gallant are...
