ye old cinders gallery in brooklyn

actually, this lil gallery in williamsburg is a wee bit three years old and is really cute and has a bunch of cute stuff from a bunch of really cute artists in brooklyn. peep their website to find more eenformashyon on cinders.

i particularly liked these two:
allyson mellberg draws portraits of boil-riddled pretty boys that, in its simplicity, portray the absurdity of their nonchalant, empty-eyed poses whilst carrying mounds of skin abcesses. eiw. i like!! she paints some of them with egg tempra and home-made paints which adds a wonderful texture and steps away from the popular light and airy drawing styles a la marcel dzama, making them a bit more interesting as objects, but i love them all nonetheless.
john orth makes pencil drawings on top of layers of latex (?). i'm curious about the process and what he's laying the laytex on top of. i love his shapes and the perceived imbalance of objects (tears overwhelmingly heavier than the body of the bird, for example).
if you are so inclined, you can find more of their work in the "art 4 sale" section on the cinders' site.
