I happened to be perusing the Cincinnati Art Museum’s web site, and was pleasantly surprised to see a Ryan McGinness exhibition scheduled to open in late October.
McGinness is no stranger to Cincinnati, having previously shown at the Contemporary Art Center and the now defunct Publico. I have to admit though; I’m kind of shocked to see him showing at CAM, as they’re not exactly known for exhibiting cutting-edge contemporary work.
If CAM is expanding further into contemporary art, then this exhibition is a great step in that direction, as McGinness’s work is phenomenal — and whether you like his style or not, everyone can appreciate his compositions, use of color and complex layering.
Here’s a link to some McGinness desktop downloads, and if you’ve never been to his site before, be sure to look around, as he’s one of today’s best and most influential artists.
