Nathaniel Mary Quinn at Salon94 Bowery

From a couple of everyday guys to this fabulously coiffed model, Nathaniel Mary Quinn’s characters astound and intrigue as layers of personality come together to make a disjointed but coherent whole.  Inspired by real characters from his life and Brooklyn neighborhood, Quinn’s paintings acknowledge human complexity while celebrating individuality.  (On view at Salon94 Bowery on the Lower East Side through Oct 27th).
