Findings on a beautiful day.

One of the first truly beautiful spring days so my roommate and I decided to go out exploring in Williamsburg. We popped into the McCaig-Welles Gallery and saw the R. Nicholas Kuszyk exhibit - amazing! His works are amazingly intricate and his mastery with color is evident in his ability to combine such harsh neons in a way that doesn't completely lose the mind's eye in the piece. The gallery website notes says...

"Hyper colorful with an overtly complex mode, R. Nicholas Kuszyk’s works combine multiple elements that relate and inform and react to each other creating a symbiosis that can range from harmonious to chaotic. While the smaller paintings work as snapshots of everyday thoughts and emotions, the larger paintings take on a much more intricate commentary."

That and a bunch of other artsy mumbo-jumbo which compares Kuszyk's work to society and human relationships. Whatever your take, the pieces are truly marvelous to behold. His robots are pretty rad too. I bet he was into them before the rest of the indie snobs :P.

Note: blogger seems to love distorting the colors on this thing. Go to the site to see the pictures in their true brilliance.

Michele and I also happened upon some cool graffiti and sick designers, more to come.
