Everything You Need To Know This Week On New York's Art Scene

2. Joshua Liner Gallery presents “Abominations”, an exhibition of new paintings by the Brooklyn-based artist Ryan McLennan. McLennan’s acrylic and graphite on paper works depict the animal kingdom exclusively. But don’t be surprised if the subjects’ “bad behavior” has an uncanny familiarity. Though the birds, snakes, rodents, and elk carry the authenticity of a dedicated naturalist and master draftsman, their actions are pure allegory for human motives and behavior, some of it of the worse sort.
