Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Imaginary Splat: by Eugênio Marino.
Eugênio Marino’s work, while embracing a healthy dose of cartoon art and pop culture, and exhibiting a studied interrogation of the usual suspects of European and American modernist schools, tells stories that are wholly and exuberantly his own.
Whether fleshing out themes of heroes and villains (replete with hi-tech gadgetry) or depicting recurring scenes from his Utopia (simply known as Love World) - where cats are central figures alongside other animals and imagined figures and landscapes - Eugênio strives, on a daily basis, to realize his visions through an ever-evolving sense of beauty and humor.
This fantastic, serial high-stakes pictorial narrative is paralleled by the artist’s pursuit and commitment towards a more refined technical command as he pens a bold line wrought with conviction and seemingly equal parts care and panache.
Imaginary Splat runs through February 14 and is on view at the Adjacent to Life gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City). There will be a reception for the artist Friday, January 17, 7:00 - 9:00 pm.
