James Romberger & Rick Prol Exbhitiion
Dorian Grey Gallery
This event has ended.
Rick Prol’s work exemplifies and helped define with “anarchical impudence” the more dangerous and harrowing aspects of urban reality with images both horrific and absurd, with a touch of humor. Prol’s aesthetic employs Art Brut Expressionism to convey images of human folly and suffering in a variety of media including the drawings and paintings in this exhibition.
James Romberger is a fine artist and cartoonist who lives and works in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. In the mid-1980s, he was co-founder of the seminal East Village installation gallery Ground Zero. “Post York,” his multimedia comic book/flexidisc collaboration with his son Crosby for Uncivilized Books was nominated for an Eisner award in 2013, a year that also saw a revised edition of the critically acclaimed graphic novel “Seven Miles A Second,” Romberger’s collaboration with Marguerite Van Cook and the late David Wojnarowicz published by Fantagraphics Books.
