Nathan Vincent at Emmanuel Fremin Gallery

At three inches high, toy soldiers aren’t that menacing. At three feet, the relationship changes. Nathan Vincent’s heavily armed knit and crocheted army figures go to war in Chelsea’s Emmanuel Fremin Gallery to eerie effect, their material inviting cozy thoughts, their weaponry and child-like size eliciting alarm. (Through Dec 31st).
