This event has ended.

Gitler &_____ presents And Again Another Crippling Love Story: Part 2, from Australian-born artist Kristian Glynn. Glynn has exhibited regularly with Gitler over the years, dating back to the gallery’s days as a pop-up. This is the artist’s third solo show with the gallery and the second in a trilogy of exhibitions that will conclude in early 2016, and include a full color catalog of 100+ recent works by the artist.

In Glynn’s latest (and extensive) collection of paintings, one discovers a melancholy universe of lovers, travelers and performers, all wayward souls in their own right, framed askew and sublimely vulnerable. Combining the seductive portraiture style of Schiele, the biomorphic terror of Bacon, and his own penchant for poetry and heartache, Glynn has created one-off storyboards that speak volumes. Glynn wears his heart on his sleeve, and allows narrative to inform each work—“In my chest I was a child”; “Show off all your dead flowers”; “Today I beg you away”—as much as form and compositional style. If Kafka had been a romantic, his drawings may have resembled these.
