José Luis Fariñas’s 2011 series of detailed watercolors is reminiscent of masters Hans Bellmer and Hieronymus Bosch, but more delicate and… avian? Skirting the Apocalypse, featuring phantasmagoric creatures captured in various stages of metamorphosis as their bodies twist and rend, transforming into heaven-knows-what. See his upcoming solo show! “Skirting the Apocalypse,” José Luis Fariñas, Jan 20 – Feb 19, Miyako Yoshinaga Art Prospects, NYC.
