We are pleased to present Inside the Outside, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Greg 'Craola' Simkins. This is Simkins' second solo show with Joshua Liner Gallery.

A fantasist at heart, Simkins alternates between the unsettling and the sentimental-in his finely rendered work, the grotesque can turn sweet and vice-versa. Fanged caterpillars become sad-eyed clowns, grow machine parts, or inflate into bulbous balloons that sprout other bizarre creatures and beings. Simkins' vision weaves together influences as diverse as contemporary pop culture, twentieth-century fantasy novels, old master paintings, carnival kitsch, and cyborgian amalgams of technology and nature.
