Sebastian Black
Local Warming
Since beginning his "Puppy Paintings" series in 2010, Sebastian Black has rendered countless dogs as geometric semi-abstract motifs. Not a moment too soon, for "Local Warming" the Brooklyn-based artist trained his attention on cats—here, rendered in oil-on-canvas as though seen through a thermal camera.
Despite the show's title alluding to global warming, these loosely figurative new paintings share titles with songs from the Frozen soundtrack.
