Working in mixed media on canvas and acrylic panels, Ian Francis combines abstraction, figuration, and elements of both painting and drawing. For his upcoming exhibit at Joshua Liner Gallery, the artist is unveiling over a dozen medium- to large-scale works on canvas and ten smaller works on acrylic that reflect broadly on the experience of television entertainment. 'Season 1 Episode 0' is inspired by the reality and unreality of contemporary TV—from the made-up world of characters and storylines; to the digital manipulation of locations and visual effects; to the myriad platforms existing today for production, delivery, and global consumption. Thursday, April 25th 6-8pm Joshua Liner Gallery 540 West 28th Street New York, NY 10001 joshualinergallery.com
