Abominations, an exhibition of new paintings by the Brooklyn-based artist Ryan McLennan is the artist's second solo show with Joshua Liner Gallery. McLennan's acrylic and graphite on paper works depict the animal kingdom exclusively. But don't be surprised if the subjects' "bad behavior" has an uncanny familiarity. Though the birds, snakes, rodents, and elk carry the authenticity of a dedicated naturalist and master draftsman, their actions are pure allegory for human motives and behavior, some of it of the worse sort. Sample images are included below. Please contact the gallery directly at info@joshualinergallery.com with any inquiries. For Even Gods Putrefy!, 2011 Acrylic and graphite on paper 52 x 77 in. Abomination, 2011 Acrylic and graphite on paper 59 x 52 in. Ryan McLennan Prolonging, 2011 Acrylic and graphite on paper 26 x 26 in.

Needless to say that this is one of the most anticipated shows of the year for me and it´s obvious that Ryan has stepped up his game.
Beautiful work, all of them...
