Ryan Scully's bio-morphic landscape paintings have been blowing us away with their scope and beauty for years. For Single Fare 2 he turns off the lights and reveals a new narrative with familiar characters. A night-time gathering of faceless forms or the last thing you see on a long walk on moonless evening? Come find out this Thursday at Sloan Fine Art!
Ryan's gorgeous work can be seen at www.ryanscully.net.
We started at 10am Monday morning and hit it hard! It could not have been done without our awesome installation team! We powered through and hung the last card around 3am... not too bad for a few thousand cards! INSTALLATION COMPLETE!!!
A special thanks to Jason Bereswill, Jane Lafarge Hamill, Jackie Dingle, John Jacobsmeyer, Justin Rome, and the many others for their dedication and super hard work. You guys are great friends and installers... and also amazing participating artists in Single Fare 2!

Charis Carmichael Braun, another repeat Single Fare rider, gives a glimpse of an amazing project she was involved in with her Church and the Sure Foundation. Made on over 400 metrocards, the piece was done as part of the Sure Foundation's 10th anniversary. This "Fellowship Mosaic" artwork was created as a celebration of the faith, community, and life of the Sure Foundation.
You can find out more about the project here and here.
She also is mid production on a trio of beautiful metrocards to include in this year's show, pictured below.
Abraham Sherief is the master of detail and loves super small brushes. What better way to show off his super slick skills than on a super small canvas... the metrocard. A great and exciting addition to Single Fare 2... these cards will blow your mind when you see them in person.
Andy Smenos, one of last year's favorites, is back in Single Fare 2 with these new cards hot off the easel! His stuffed animals from last year's batch of cards show up again with all their painterly charm set against a field of Big Head Portraiture, (metro-sized, natch.)
Debra Goertz dominated a nice section of the wall last year with a flurry of more than a dozen MetroCards... looks like she is going even bigger and badder this year. She emailed a little sneak peak of what is in the works for Single Fare 2! Go Goertz Go!
