New oil paintings and charcoal drawings fusing autobiographical reverie and histories of trauma Romanian-born, Berlin-based painter Adrian Ghenie (born 1977) merges art historical and contemporary cultural references--the art of Otto Dix and Philip Guston fused with the hybrid, monstrous aliens in the animated series Rick and Morty , for example.

An interview between the artist and curator Nicholas Cullinan also features.
