New York's Last Rites Gallery is an epicenter of dark painting, turning the screws on puritanical taboos. With impressive art shows, the current solo shows by Nick Baxter and Fred Harper, for example, Last Rites celebrates the intense and uncomfortable in beautiful, unexpected ways. Hi-Fructose collaborator Aaron Tompkins was at Saturday night's opening and he took a few photos for us here...

Master painter and Popagandist Ron English opened his latest exhibition at SOHO’s Opera Gallery in NYC with a special performance by MC Super Size and a group of especially painted six shooter armed Cathy Cowgirls. The packed gallery opening included huge recent paintings, awe-inspiring sculptures and the large crowd included many artists including Travis Louie, David Stoupakis, Fred Harper, and Vincent Castiglia.
