Contemporary Art: Homo Eruptus @ Howl! Arts New York

(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary Art is often strange & avantgardistic. Recently I discovered an interesting show called "Homo Eruptus at gallery Howl! Arts, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the past and celebrating the contemporary culture of the East Village and Lower East Side (howlarts). The displayed works by Scooter LaForge, who ever hides behind this name (scooter).

The press release states "Scooter paints with an earnestness that responds in the moment to what he sees and hears and feels about the world around him. Prehistoric cave paintings and the erotic murals of Pompeii mix with childhood memories and his experiences as a gay youth in leather bars, creating an orgy of images that personalize and tap into the emotional content of his daily life and current interests". Let the images speak for themselves. Enjoy!
