Glitter, Not Gold: The Art of Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt
I first saw the work of artist Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt earlier this year at MoMA PS1. The exhibition, appropriately titled Tender Love Among the Junk, nearly left me breathless: not only was it comprised of several rooms of quirky, colorful, astounding works, but the richness of the art — its layers and details, the way it opens up to prolonged revelation — made the show feel larger. Now a wide range of his work is on view at Pavel Zoubok gallery.
