Dan McCarthy

Birds—perched on the heads, toes, shoulders, and other parts of various long-haired musicians, skateboarders and nude female bathers—are perhaps meant to represent freedom in McCarthy's very spirited paintings, created in an elaborate mono-print process. They're accompanied by a series of brightly colored ceramic vases, featuring smiley and frowny faces—and, for that matter, faces registering ambiguous cartoon expressions—but it's all in good, slackerlike fun.
