Dan Loewenstein

Guiltboys, Leatherbirds, Boneheads and Other Bits collects the veteran local artist’s photos, sketches, and prints. Feathery bird skeletons figure in some works, while the recurring doodle of Guiltboy is everywhere, like a smiling little voodoo doll that Loewenstein is using to exorcise his, well, guilt? Deliberately crude, as if executed by a child’s hand, Guiltboy is drawn and rephotographed in various iterations, most of them surrounded by handwritten measurements and annotations. He’s like a small-scale model for something never realized in larger, rounder form. He’s both cheerful and oppressed, resilient despite whatever forces the world is throwing at him. Also on view: Loewenstein’s ghostly, white-on-white license plates, rendered in delicate bas relief, as if removed from cars that never existed. Note closing reception on April 30. BRIAN MILLER
