NEW YORK—The gestures we make with our eyes, mouths and hands, often say much more than the words we speak. Alan Rath explores this notion using digital media. “Skintics,” his solo show at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery includes new work Rath created in has San Francisco studio. While it is initially a bit off putting to see disembodied eyes staring out you from across gallery, Rath’s creations are intriguing. The gallery fittingly notes that the beauty of his work is the “subtle interplay between art and technology.”
Today is the last day of the show which is on view from March 1 to April 7, 2012.
