Contemporary Art: Prometheus and Pietà @ The Hole New York


(Drivebycuriosity) -  Manhattan`s Bowery is a magnet for tourists. But you also could find one ambitious art gallery at least: The Hole. Recently I spotted there a show by the South Korean artist Lee Gihun ( thehole). The exhibition is called "Prometheus and Pietà". I enjoyed his powerful & surreal phantasies and display here my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.

 




According to the press release “Lee creates dark post-industrial landscapes populated by animals and hybrid beings, merging painting and drawing in each work with acrylic and oil pastel on canvases that reach up to eight feet in scale”.

 





Enjoy!
