Sean McCarthy: Creature Features

–

Creature Feature is a survey of 20 years of Sean McCarthy’s work in drawing, painting, and comics, all featuring delicately drawn tragicomic monsters. McCarthy’s work is broadly allusive, engaging with literature, film, esoteric texts, and a wide range of art historical touchstones; it explores grotesque mysteries and uncomfortable psychological and emotional states in a language of expressive, exquisite draftsmanship.

This event is open to the general public.
