DescriptionSam Gibbons' paintings are fascinating renderings of cartoons perversely entwined in spasms of candy-colored hyperkinetic activity. Sex and violence are recurring themes blended in painterly patterns of figuration and abstraction. Perfectly balanced, his compositions relate to computer-generated art and signify the artist's knowledge of technology and traditional painting.On View
