Adam Stennett, who’s previously brought us meticulous marvels Underwater Mouse and Girl In Bathtub (NSFW), has a new painting in the “In Standard Time” group show at the Ana Cristea Gallery, opening tonight. Featuring ten young artist with internationally shifting residences, the exhibition seeks to find ground in the fluid, scattering state of our time.

“In Standard Time,” Feb 25 – Apr 3, Reception Feb 25 6-8pm, Ana Cristea Gallery, New York
