Casual Encounters, A Group Show Friday, 2/11/11 @ Mighty Tanaka Gallery in DUMBO Brooklyn. Mighty Tanaka presents: Casual Encounters A Journey Through the Ridiculous, the Absurd and the Extreme Applying pen to paper is one of the simplest forms of art one can produce. However, to do it well is a true feat No matter how simple or complex, the drawing conveys the artist’s id and deepest subconscious. In our next show at Mighty Tanaka, we present Casual Encounters, as we take a look at the humorous and otherwise ridiculous illustrations of what make us human. Featuring the artwork of Lauren Asta, Jac Atkinson, Abe Lincoln Jr., Rick Midler, Reginald Péan and RTTP, this show provides an off kilter version of life. This modern storybook show exemplifies the extremes and absurdities that one may encounter and the interpretations behind it. From lesbian orgies to cartoony and graphic introspections, the work of Casual Encounters is both fun and enticing, with a style of illustration for everyone. Ranging from the highly detailed to the sublimely minimal, Casual Encounters offers the viewer an escape from reality, if only for a night. OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, February 11th, 2011 6:00PM - 9:00PM Mighty Tanaka 68 Jay St., Suite 416 Brooklyn, NY 11201 (F Train to York St.) For more info check: http://mightytanaka.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=168864283159601 Hope to see you locals there!
