Aaron Wexler Flowers Through the Weeds 2005 acrylic, ink and paper on panels 96" x 104" [detail]

- being another work from the current show at Jack the Pelican Presents. Barry and I had first seen Aaron Wexler's beautiful art exactly one year ago at Oliver Kamm's 5BE Gallery in a show curated by Lital Mehr. Wexler's older paper collages were so subtle they were virtually invisible, especially in photo reproduction. I only had to wait.
