Description
Road Agent announces the opening of Various Small Fires on Saturday, December 9, with an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. The exhibition features paintings and works on paper by artists Elliott Johnson, Eric Trosko, M, Todd Ramsell, Takako Tanabe and others.
By making small alterations and unexpected pairings within the realm of the ordinary, these artists suggest an entry point into the fantastic; sometimes nostalgic, often surreal, usually very funny, at times pathetic. Each piece is a well-crafted invitation to warm yourself by their various small fires; a phrase borrowed from Ed Ruscha, the master of transforming the obvious or ordinary into the monumental.
