On February 15, Mike Weiss Gallery in New York will debut a solo show by Christian Vincent titled “Ear to the Ground.” Interested in social behavior, Weiss creates idyllic paintings set in dreamy, imaginary lands. Meandering youths populate his works — for this latest series, he explores the dynamics of conformity and desire in social situations. The landscapes in Vincent’s paintings appear sparsely populated and lush, much like the idealized island habitats of Gauguin’s Tahitian series.
