Ania Tomicka’s stirring figurative paintings have a particularly mystical quality within her latest body of work, “Omen.” In a show currently at Modern Eden Gallery under that title, several works by the Italian artist are collected. Often featuring feminine figures, the work calls upon literary and art histories.
The gallery offers some insight into Tomicka’s background and her current body of work: “When she was only 9 she moved to Italy, where she started to draw seriously. She attended the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice and the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence where she found inspiration in the Italian high renaissance paintings and iconography. Her newest body of work continues this academic tradition, but presents the figure amidst backgrounds which call to mind passages from Dante’s Inferno, and lend dark and mysterious narratives to her beautifully rendered subjects.”

Travel to a time where humans prevail in all their primeval glory in Attaboy's new show at The Compound Gallery. This body of work includes the buzzed-about rock paintings on rocks, adding to the meta-nature of the new show that seems to be extracted from animation. Is this place the fate of the future or is it a temporal glimpse into our primitive past? Either way, you are sure to enjoy a silent moment with the Monocrag—or take a hike on the Triple Cragscape. Come for the humans, stay for the future. The "Future Human" sideshow will be up in the grey gallery beginning October 19, so you better get yourself a souvenir before this painted epoch ends.
