The Austrian artist Leopold Strobl has a straightforward way of working: he looks through the pictures in daily newspapers, selects a scene, cuts it out, mounts it on thicker paper, and then covers much of the surface in colored pencil and graphite.
In John Tursi's New Works at Ricco/Maresca, the artist cultivates a sense of movement and psychedelic animation through dense repetition. Simple shapes are plaited into larger patterns that Tursi combines into machinic bodies. Each figure evokes pulsating Broadyway Boogie-Woogies of movement, that systematize the body into reeling conveyor belts of synapse.
