Scooter LaForge at Theodore Art

Dozens of brightly colored creatures, cobbled-together from everyday objects and other found materials by Scooter LaForge form a fun menagerie at Theodore Art in Tribeca.  Those featuring LaForge’s expressive faces, familiar from his expressionist painting practice, are immediately engaging with their lively aura and quirky expressions.  LaForge tells AM New York that making them brought him joy, a feeling that he extends to his audience.  (On view through June 18th).
