Trash is a treasure for this California artist. He takes the most mundane, ignored and discarded piece of trash and elevates it via repetition into a field of vibrating consistency. Cool show, check out the “White Album match cover piece” when you go. Through February 14, 2015

Joshua Liner Gallery
Multiples and variations of lines, shapes, shocking colors and suns are typical of Sam Friedman’s abstract paintings at this show. Part of it feels very memphis in its style and experimentation. I’m feeling a strong 1980’s vibe here. Check it out through February 14, 2015.
Wayne White is in the House!— Joshua Liner Gallery has a great show featuring Wayne White of the early fame (Set decorator for the Pee Wee Herman Show) This will be a fun show with giant sized puppets from his residency in York, PA along with his brilliant word paintings. Show of the night. Check it out. (1)
