This unassuming little painting by Berlin-based American artist Ryan McLaughlin conjures a cruise line advertisement for or by kids, a water conservation poster or some other public service message. It’s simple, earnest and charming. (At Laurel Gitlen Gallery on the Lower East Side through Dec 22nd.)
Ryan McLaughlin, Wasserbetriebe, oil on canvas on MDF, 25 ¾ x 17 ¾ inches, 2013.
