Appearances are deceiving in Greg Gossel's art. Although they're far from photorealistic, Gossel's works share as much of an affinity with "hyper-real" painters like Gerhard Richter as they do with more obvious Pop influences such as Roy Lichtenstein. His canvases, which on first glance look like two-dimensional paper collages, are for the most part paintings, which seamlessly mix meticulous renderings of old comic panels, newspaper clippings, random doodles, and iconic figures — such as Kate Moss and Frederick Douglass — with actual paper scraps in a palimpsest-like riot of color and pop-cultural references. Happy Endings presents the largest exhibit to date of the artist's work, with 50 new original pieces.
