Laurie Lipton “Carnival of the Dead”
Get ready for Halloween with the morbid new works of Laurie Lipton! Her new solo show, “Carnival of the Dead”, will be at the Last Rites Gallery in New York City starting October 1st, 2011. Lipton examines the varying ways that death is perceived by different cultures, from the colorful celebration of death during Mexico’s Day of the Dead festival to the western fear and inability to accept death. “Carnival of the Dead” features humorous, grotesque, and well-crafted charcoal and pencil drawings, and closes on October 23rd, 2011.
