As a kid, LA-based British artist Kour Pour grew up watching his dad repair and work with carpets in his rug shop. He continues the tradition, after a fashion, by silkscreening carpets from auction catalogues onto canvas, then painting and sanding the images into something entirely new. (At Untitled Gallery through Feb 23rd).
