Hallucinogenic artwork by Tyler Krasowski

Travis Lawrence Reader Find

By Travis Lawrence in New Art on Wednesday 9 May 2012

I once heard Tyler Krasowskisay: ‘To be a great printmaker, you first have to know how to draw. Then you have to learn how to carve. Then you have to know how to print it’. Krasowski’s work lies somewhere between the notebook sketches and a daydream. Whether it be an eyeball taking a boat ride he did for a Pearl Jam design, or a meat-grinding shark being bombed by fighter planes, he is going to take you on a hallucinogenic ride through the clouds. Just make sure you watch out for those giant flying snakes.

New York’s Heist Gallery, situated in the city’s steamy Lower East Side, is presenting the work of Chris Rubino, a versatile artist who has created a vast array of imagery through illustration, printing, graphics and photography.

Rubino infuses his creations with color using pastel, paint, colored pencil and printmaking. Exuding a faster yet less mechanized energy, this body of work mirrors the way we process imagery and information today.
