NYAB Event - Dan Arps "Affirmation Dungeon"

This event has ended.
At Jack the Pelican Presents

At first, it was going to be merely a selection of his works on paper (easy to ship)—and don't get me wrong, these scrawly-feely paintings and photo-collages are really fresh... (they're well described by the Michael Lett gallery as "sad hallucinations")—but the artist insists on giving you a "real Dan Arps show!"
"Apathetic, cynical and often humorous, Arps' intuitive manipulation of his found materials speaks of the excesses of our commodity-saturated existence from a point as far removed as he can get from the slick over-production that characterises it. It is a kind of contemporary mash-up of surrealist, pop art and performative elements using whatever is at hand to convey his defiant message; he is consciously careless, iconoclastic and coarse. If Salvador Dali and Oscar the Grouch were teenage flatmates today, these are the kind of posters that might adorn their bedroom walls."
