Rapid Eye Movement

Rapid Eye Movement

“Rapid Eye Movement” is a new group show at Varnish Fine Art featuring Attaboy, Sean Christopher, Dave Chung, Chris Mars, Kevin Peterson, & KRK Ryden. The show opens this Thursday, March 2nd from 7pm-11pm and runs through April 15th.

Dedicated to edgy toys, cartoon-y views of reality, mongrelized pop culture, and grotesque expressionism, these 6 artists specialize in tapping into and then manifesting their childhood and adolescent selves into work that is sometimes epitomized by smoking bunnies and three-legged girls, or more often by depictions of gleeful rebellion.
