Two shows from last summer I enjoyed --

Nicola López at Caren Golden. López creates wonderful inks/collage supercities that spread across the walls and down from the ceilings.

Andre von Morisse at McKenzie Fine Art. Von Morisse paints fantastic alternate futures in grisaille oil and then photographs them to create large prints. By blowing up 8''x8'' originals into 42"x41" prints, the image looks like out of focus real documentation. Or, as the curator put it, "The resulting soft-focus, selenium-toned silver gelatin prints recontextualize the painted images into the often unquestioned realm of photographic truth." Ha.
