“For the artist, science is the best filter through which we can see reality, but art is the preferred means of expression,” the venue says. “Looking at his mythological creatures it’s not hard to see why; since the first time Grabelsky started to turn the people he met in the New York subway into animals, his artistic research and technique became more and more meticulous and detailed.”

On Saturday, June 7, the eminent pop surrealist painter Lori Earley opened a solo show at Opera Gallery in Soho, New York, featuring 34 new oil paintings as well as earlier portraiture drawings of her iconic female characters. The exhibition “The Devil's Pantomime” is opulent in its simplicity. The artist beckons an otherworldly beauty by magnifying the intrinsic features of a woman's face, and reaches the sensory-equivalent of how silk stockings, leather, and dewy skin feels in pure, color form.
