“Safe Keeping,” 2012 (oil on canvas) by Joe Conera at Donzella 20th Century Gallery. Although it looks like mounds of books, the painting is actually of stacks of money.

Kllc’s work bears a striking resemblance to works by acclaimed artist Louise Nevelson whose wood assemblages were far more ambitious in composition and execution.
