KOCARLSON: the art John W. Carlson and George F. Kocar coverage

Cleveland Scene coverage of KOCARLSON show


KOCARLSON

Both George (F) Kocar and John (W) Carlson paint and draw the human figure, but in wildly different ways. Kocar's work has a level of distortion and exaggeration and a color palette appropriate for cartoons, while Carlson's muted tones, realistic perspectives and proportions give his work a more serious look. They're exhibiting together in a show opening Saturday at The Art Gallery, 4099 Erie St. in Willoughby. An opening reception runs from 6 to 9 p.m. The show hangs through October 11. Free.
