Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton presents a two-person exhibition of new works by José Lerma and Eddie Martinez. Both artists use creative material approaches to painting and its history as the starting point for their practice. Inhabited by voracious marks and a motley cast of characters, their works display the political histories of nations imagined and conflicts all too real, through the interplay of their denizens. On view until August 29, 2012 at Halsey McKay Gallery, 79 Newtown Lane East Hampton, NY
