Madness Fantastique

If you're in the mood for gallery hopping, one of the best places to begin is at the Nitroglobus Gallery, where curators Nitro Fireguard and Dido Haas present an exhibition entitled Madness Fantastique, featuring works by cold Frog and CaTcHaFiRe (Catchafire Shilova) through the month of October. All the material in the exhibition is new, and at least for CaTcHaFiRe is the first public showing of works in general. The installation itself is splendid, with faux reflections through the transparent floor.

These are bold, fanciful images that manifest a strong command of composition and technique. They're not shots of pre-existing scenes; each is a discrete composition, and several make use of the playful avatars of CapCat Ragu and Meilo Minotaur. I look forward to seeing more work from both of these artists. While you're visiting, be sure to explore the side galleries, which feature work by the curators.
