The show consists of life size figural sculptures constructed of collaged torn sheets of newspaper, wood, wire, screws, tape and everyday objects which depict the characters captured by Kurtz's iPhone camera lens. Utilizing the observing eye of a curious urban voyeur, Will Kurtz spends large portions of his days combing the streets of New York for his subjects, which are later transformed into sincere and amusing life-size sculptures. It is not the subjects' aesthetic appeal that draws Kurtz as much as their essence and strong representation of the multitude of prototypes that typify New York City: from an old married couple and endearingly eccentric dog owners to curmudgeonly middle-aged smokers. On exhibition through February 18th. http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/artists-news/item/will-kurtz-s-extra-f...
