In Chris Austin’s surreal paintings, the overlooked giants of the ocean make their way across landscapes and suburban settings. His recent show with Antler Gallery, titled “Unfamiliar,” offered new work from the artist, who often focuses on the elegance and plight of nature and its inhabitants.

“His work utilizes a surrealist vision of the natural world to tell stories about significant encounters and incidents. A little girl in a yellow rain slicker stands in for the viewer in several works, bearing witness to levitating sharks and orcas as they move through the woods. The inexplicable nature of these scenes draws us into a world out of kilter, its central figures displaced, and ask us to reflect on our own assumptions about the natural order of things.”

Illustrator Chrigel Farner has a knack for chaos. His enormous scenes move between writhing armies of characters or solitary giants. The Berlin artist's practice encompasses editorial illustration, comics, and gallery art. Farner’s style recalls both the wild characters of classical animation and the detailed world-building of Moebius.
In his recent show at The Hall in Brooklyn, Aaron Li-Hill tackles climate change in his visceral mixed-media works. "Perils of a New World" collects both handheld pieces and massive new installations from the Canadian artist. The show also features works fro ma collaborative photographic series with Mathais Wasik.
