The Stranger Factory Presents 'THE GREAT ESCAPE' by Andrew Bell & Kelly Denato.

"The debilitating feeling of heartbreak; the self-destructive spiral of past emotions and memories; the overwhelming feeling of social suffocation -- they’re the less gracious experiences in life that we all inevitably encounter and Andrew Bell and Kelly Denato bring them to the fore in The Great Escape – an exhibition of new drawings, paintings and sculptures from the Brooklyn-based artists.

Combining tragic humor and delicate elegance, the artists wade the terrain of a new reality: a reality of pushing forward after shedding the skin of a previous life – be it a love left behind or old fears and insecurities now put to rest. "

 

Andrew uses a wide spectrum of mediums including illustrations, paintings, toys and sculptures. Much of his work is brought together by a sense of humor that often disguises a more serious message.

Kelly is a painter, illustrator and sculpture from New York. She has worked with character animation, motion graphics, character and background designs, album artwork, plush toys, comics and childrens books. She is said to be a master of conveying elegance and charisma through simple line drawings.
