With metallic, elegant renderings of urban detritus and wasted cities, Austrian artist Felix Malnig carves his own niche out of the contemporary landscape. Malnig's spray-painted surfaces have a rich, smoky texture, giving his paintings an almost edible quality. His video D portrays decaying inner-city Detroit from an elevated train, complete with malignant buildings and signs of half-hearted progress lying dead below the tracks. The painting series Haus takes a sinister yet charming approach, with loose, washy strokes and a harder edge that gives life to the faded buildings.
