Painter Fabio D'Aroma's characters perpetually march westward, though it's unclear to what end. His nude men and women with protruding bellies and knobby limbs appear to be part of an endless procession. D'Aroma adorns them with anachronistic accouterments such as 19th-century bayonets, animal pelts and punk rock mohawks, making it impossible to determine the continuity between the various works in the series. His highly stylized paintings are currently on view at New York's Jonathan LeVine Gallery through November 8 for his solo show, "West of Ovest." The artist says that our culture's crippling obsession with social media — and the resulting social awkwardness — was the inspiration behind his ungainly figures.
