Last Rites Double Header

Shelf Life by Tin

Last Rites Gallery in New York has two great shows opening this weekend. Previously we posted about Laurie Lipton's "Carnival of Death" and Tin's exhibition is titled "The Internal Clock". Both of the artists have beautiful and interesting perspectives to share.  A promising no-brainer for a festive start to our favorite month of October, if you are lucky enough to be in NYC!

Opening Reception: Saturday, October 1st, 7:00pm-11:00pm.
Show runs Oct 1st thru 23rd, 2011

Reunion by Laurie Lipton

The Mistress of All Pencil Pushers: Laurie Lipton

Lachrymose Lace - Lipton

Born in New York and very well traveled, Laurie Lipton currently lives in Los Angeles. She creates wonderfully detailed and super tight renderings of haunted Victorian scenarios. Working mostly in pencil, charcoal and etchings. Laurie's surreal worlds contain narratives of ghostlands - staid skeletons, vintage housewives and Big Brother - all hold court in a tapestry of gothic science fiction. Modern postcards anointed with mischievous glee, political stabs, fancy lace perfection and witty twists.

 Laurie’s upcoming solo show (above) opens Oct. 1st. at Last Rites in New York City, on view thru Oct. 23rd, 2011.
