Marepe at Anton Kern Gallery

Brazilian artist Marepe continues to use everyday materials, simply transformed to achieve big effects.  In his latest solo show at Chelsea’s Anton Kern Gallery, he transforms two bikes into a stationary creature with human head and fish-like tail, a hybrid that suggests literal and figurative possibilities for forward movement.  (Through Dec 14th).
