"Untitled 2," acrylic on canvas, by KAWS

A very interesting show exploring the modern Pop landscape is "Popcentric" at NYC’s GERING & LóPEZ GALLERY. Curated by fast-rising art star MICHAEL BEVILACQUA and featuring new work by thirteen internationally known artists including Dimitrios Antonitsis, John Armleder, Guido Bagini, Michael Bevilacqua, Liz Craft, Dexter Dalwood, Carl D'Alvia, Fischerspooner, KAWS, Christian Lemmerz, Bruce Richards, Mario Schifano, and Francesco Simeti, the show takes a wide-ranging look at the modern art landscape through a variety of media from paintings to sculpture. Skulls feature prominently as themes throughout the show, which is never a bad thing, and two new pieces from KAWS and Bevilacqua are reason enough to make the spot before September 8th.
