Alex Gross
Future Tense
Jonathan Levine Gallery NYC
Great show by this intensely realistic painter. The images are a real look into the souls of the subjects, but something is off and completely unsettling. As if something is too good to be true. Many paintings reveal the dark side of this saccharin beauty. Most of the paintings are sold, but you can still check it out in person.
Lots O Shows-Plenty to see and do Thursday night in Chelsea. Jonathan Levine has a solo show of Alex Gross paintings that I canít wait to see in person. They have a realism that is slightly offóit throws you. Petzel Gallery has some haunting screen prints by John Stezaker at the petzel Gallery along with a film entitled ìBlindî which fires 24 frames a second at your retina of disparate images that induce a dream like state. Check it out.
