The other day we made a quick stop at Varnish, a small gallery near 2nd and Howard. They had some nice pieces up. I really liked the work of Isabel Samaras. She does some really great paintings of TV icons of my generation. The painting above, titled “Besame Mucho”, is Kirk and Spock as The Lone Ranger and Tonto. That particular painting isn’t part of the show at Varnish, but they do have a really nice nude Lt. Uhura. I reccomend visiting Varnish, and the site of Isabel Samaras to see more of her work.
I must say some of those painting are some of the most disturbing images I have ever seen. Kinda shatters some of my childhood memories.
