Character Split at Survival Kit

Conjured through peculiar collages sourced from cut-up, computer generated images and kids’ disposable party plates, and surreal imagery drawn with unerring draftsmanship, the imagined characters created by Clarke Curtis (Austin, TX) and Tyler Zeleny differ only in their form and narrative. Personified through bold, black and white prints, and playful, multicolored combinations, both artists’ sets of characters convey human attributes and gestures that encourage the viewer to suppose hypothetical conversations or confrontations, the […]

Cinema 03 and Kasumi at Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery

CINEMA 03 SEPTEMBER 21–NOVEMBER 3, 2012 As children, we may have our favorite bedtime stories or illustrations, or even a favorite piece of music, but for most of  us, the earliest and most enduring art experience is in the cinema. Cinema is a wholly new and transportive experience,  imparting both an immediacy and a distance, almost like watching someone else’s dream. It is the ultimate expression of  the gestalt […]
