Dustin Yellin, ‘If A Bird’s Nest is Nature, What is a House’ at Almine Rech Gallery

Playfully describing his work as ‘window sandwiches,’ Brooklyn artist Dustin Yellin seals images from books and magazines, paint and street trash in layered glass sculptures that delight with their creativity and tiny details.  Now on view in his solo show at Almine Rech Gallery, this image of a human figure with waterfalls for arms and a head that looks as if the sun is exploding from a volcano is host to dozens of little climbing, rafting and parachuting human figures.  Blurring the line between man and nature, Yellin questions the role of the spirit in human life with the title ‘God Shaped Hole (Study).’  (On view in Tribeca through Aug 1st. Note summer hours.)
