Sophie Crumb at DCKT Contemporary

Sophie Crumb ups the absurdity of a 2007 Paris Vogue supermarket fashion shoot with her skillful watercolor and ink renditions of the original magazine photos. Sharing a show with her mother, Aline Crumb at Lower East Side gallery DCKT Contemporary, both artists present fascinating portraits of fashion victims. (Through October 19th).

Ryan Humphrey at DCKT Contemporary

Ryan Humphrey brings street life inside by making art from signage, brass knuckles, music and more in a show that includes paintings in the guise of caution tape, available by the piece or all together.  A comment on desensitization or just plain desensitization?  (At DCKT Contemporary on the Lower East Side through May 12th).
