Editorial Review

Neo-primitive painter Beverly Ryan is paired with neo-pop artist Ran Borgersen, and the result is nothing less than jarring. Ryan once worked in textile design, and her paintings have palpable surfaces. The canvases are quaint, with the twee charm of Paul Klee but minus the Swiss artist's dark underbelly. Borgersen's slick neo-pop kitsch descends directly from Andy Warhol, a half-century too late. From afar, triptychs of the Statue of Liberty and African daisies give graphic punch. Up close, Borgersen's over-reliance on hackneyed digital manipulation disappoints.
