Continuum on view @ Mana Contemporary

“Out of Character” is a bold exhibition that delves into the evolution of identity through form and narrative in characterized or stylized figurative work, using mediums such as moving animation, drawing, painting, and sculpture. Co-curated by Pierogi Gallery and Willy Hartland, the exhibition sheds light on the historical context of animation and its journey from being dismissed as mere “cartoons” to being recognized as a legitimate form of fine art.

UnBreakable -Ceramics Redefined @JanKossen Contemporary

Kathy Stecko’s humanoid porcelain sculptures resemble a party thrown at a haunted circus. The elongated yet truncated limbs recall elements of 16th century mannerism, while the bulging bellies and hallow eyes resemble the psychological undertones of an Edvard Munch. These tiny sculptures hang on the wall or stand on their own pedestals to create tiny clusters of figures both affecting and endearing. Stecko lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
