You might know Karl Stevens from his show in the Hallway Gallery last month, or from his weekly comic that ran in the dearly departed Phoenix. For his show in the Hallway Gallery he plastered both gallery walls with the originals from dozens of his comic pages. I’ve been a fan of Stevens’ work ever since I ran into him at the Massachusetts Independent Comic Expo (MICE) a number of years back. His comic work features witty and cynical wordplay combined with impeccably cross-hatched pen and ink drawings.

The Aviary Gallery’s October show, “Star/Fruit,” features a photographic collaboration between artists Scott Alario and Harry Gould Harvey IV. Alario’s series focuses on his wife and child, while Harvey’s spins a semi-fictitious narrative about his recent honeymoon. Alario’s images are C-Prints from 8×10 negatives and Harvey’s are C-Prints from 6×7 negatives. The two artists printed their work through the same lab, framed together, and hung the photos intermixed on the walls, weaving together the two bodies of work seamlessly. I enjoyed taking in the show as a whole first, without being able to determine which photos were created by which artist, before using the image list to separate out the images into their respective series.
