Looking at the pictures you are probably thinking their real photographs right? Wrong. These are actually large-scale oil paintings by artist Dan Witz who just opened his new solo exhibit called, “NY Hardcore.” In his latest showcase, the Brooklyn-based artist’s second show at the gallery includes works from his celebrated Mosh Pit series. The series, which is inspired by his experience in the early ’80s performing in post-punk noise bands during the downtown NY scene, showcases NY’s hardcore-punk scene that embodies Witz’s desire for comparable intensity and rebelliousness in his painting. If you’re in the New York area, be sure to check out his gallery running until May 3.
