”Here Comes Sunshine”
Wes Lang
Half Gallery, 208 Forsyth St., NYC
Lang extrapolates from a diverse range of tributaries: tattoo flash, memento mori, Cholo signifiers, Basquiat’s oil stick, Mike Kelley’s 13 Seasons, Tao Te Ching. Competing influences here occasionally result in contradictory statements, a sort of paradoxical jamboree, where death is embraced - not as a hard stop - but as an eternal companion. - thru June 22
