Contemporary Art: Gosha Levochkin`s Last Element @ The Hole Gallery New York

(Drivebycuriosity) -  Some galleries have funny names. "The Hole" on Manhattan`s popular entertainment mile Bowery (312 Bowery, New York  theholenyc) seems to specialize in experimental art. They have frequently interesting shows. Recently I saw the debut solo exhibition by Gosha Levochkin, called “Last Element”.

The press release explains:"Russian constructivist shapes, zips of electric current, swirls from his mother’s pastries and computer game characters unite, clash and reverberate in Gosha’s explosive compositions. For his first New York solo show this Moscow-born, Brooklyn-based artist has elaborated his signature repertoire of human comedy, infusing it with allusions to fire, water and mystical digital symbols rendered in acrylic paint on canvas".
