Populated by unexpectedly cuddly alligators, fuzzy buffalo, and mustachioed men, the curious paintings of Ben Kehoe balance precariously between gloom and whimsy; sadness and terminal cuteness. The permanent overcast of Kahoe’s wintry locales and the vulnerable expressions that his characters share create a cocooned dreamscape that’s punctured only by bouts of dark humor and well-executed absurdity.
