URBAN OUTFITTERS
507 E Green St
www.urbanoutfitters.com
Fri 12-9pm: “Songbirds,” an exhibit of original pieces by S.J. Hart, courtesy of Kasia Kay Art Projects. Somehow out of their own space and time, the Songbirds are here. Allied with beast or bird, they are caught in a thorny, candy-colored dreamscape. The creatures - birds or nest raiders - shift in scale, their intent unclear. The forest itself, sweet and alluring, is an endlessly repeating, mutating space. Each of these highly composed scenes, each fragment of their story, alludes to traditions in Victorian portraiture, botanical illustration and printmaking. Their narrative is unfolding. Part animal, part child, the Songbirds live in a weird zone between imagination and reality, portraiture and decoration, grief and joy. For more, visit www.kasiakaygallery.com.
