Yesterday, we presented you with one of the first exhibitions from our Issue #6 cover artist Ryan McGinness‘s takeover of the Los Angeles area. Now, the other one of the openings will happen soon as Michael Kohn Gallery will usher in “Recent Paintings,” which opens on May 19th and runs until July 1st.

Here’s all the info:
Michael Kohn Gallery is pleased to present its first solo show with Ryan McGinness, which will include important pieces from several bodies of work along with new paintings. McGinness is known for his bold and refreshing paintings and installations that layer contemporary iconography to underscore the artist’s commentary on language, history, and symbolism.  Re-imagining our world as a series of graphic icons, McGinness layers and collages these images to create complex and sophisticated paintings that shed light on our contemporary world.  Boldly colorful and slick, McGinness deftly merges together digital techniques with more traditional crafts like silk screening and painting.  Often likened to Andy Warhol, McGinness has developed a unique visual language to reflect on pop culture and the society in which we live.
