Giant Robot is proud to host Paths Less Traveled, a group art show featuring new work by Allison Cole, Julia Rothman, Daria Tessler, and Jing Wei.
Although Rhode Island-based Allison Cole is known in the world of indie comics for her self-published Comics of Love, she is a multi-headed art monster who uses bold brushwork and complex papercuts to create eye-pleasing patterns and dreamlike settings for a gallery setting.
The natural yet hyper detailed linework of Brooklynite Julia Rothman conveys effortlessness that belies its precise realism. Her talents are equally applicable for intricate patternmaking, editorial work for the New York Times, or timeless artwork with an abundance of style and no pretense.
The work of illustrator and printmaker Daria Tessler resets the world as pages of a psychedelic coloring book. In the Brooklyn-based artist's work, humans, animals, and nature commingle, carry on, and cross-dress to a surprising, enlightening, and uplifting effect.
Chinese-born and Brooklyn-based Jing Wei creates block prints that combine realistic technique with pure imagination. She tackles the recurring subject of nature with affection, detail, and humor to ultimately reveal the beautifully flawed eyes and imagination of humanity.
A reception for the artists will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, December 5. For more information about the artists, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
