Known for imagining idiosyncratic characters from dreamed up worlds, Brazilian street-artist twins Osgemeos are back at Lehmann Maupin Gallery with paintings and two installations that fill the gallery with vivid color and sound from a built-in DJ booth. Pictured here, the gallery’s west wall houses a mystical architectural construction presided over by a nude man whose body has split in two to reveal a glowing inner self. To either side, a celestial goddess holds a planet in her hand while a man whose head in encircled by flower petals smiles serenely. In the sky, two heads circled by colorful lights – one of which is emerging from a UFO – light up the already bright skies over an installation that delights and entertains. (On view in Chelsea through Aug 16th).
