'Malformations and Maleficarum' by Martin Ontiveros @ Rotofugi (June 1-24)

A sense of fluidity seeps thru the macabre notions of Martin's work. Interesting was his series of faces, more interesting was his silkscreens, but the pencil-sketches somehow were the most evocative, by far. Sometimes "simplicity" truly showcases the artists skill and ability, IMHO.

Rotofugi is currently hosting the works of Martin Ontiveros in a show titled "Malformations and Maleficarum" - with a online preview via www.rotofugi.com (images posted here via) and as well an illuminating interview going on at grasshutcorp.com. MALFORMATIONS AND MALEFICARUM exhibits from June 1st thru to June 24th.
