2 Ceramics Shows: Joakim Ojanen & Max Maslansky

Stockholm-based artist Joakim Ojanen's delightful exhibition of paintings, drawings, and ceramics at Richard Heller Gallery is aptly titled: "A Show for the Lonely Distant Baby Souls." According to the artist, it is "a celebration of the human being." He goes on to...

Pick of the Week: Ferrari Sheppard
