Romance + long-term relationship = car wreck

How many wrecked relationships do you have notched on your belt? Five? Fourteen? Six-hundred and thirty-seven? Artist David Koch has quite a few as well but, thankfully, he’s decided to address them with a sense of humor. He’s documented them, metaphorically speaking, in a hilarious new series of paintings called Ouch! Koch’s metaphor of choice is the crashed car—obvious, maybe, but as executed in these paintings quite beautiful, too, in a crumpled and broken sort of way. Koch has painted each accident against a bright monotone background, lending every wrecked car an iconic sensibility. I checked the show out a couple weeks ago, and it’s well worth your time. Ouch! can be viewed during Outpost performances or by special appointment through June.
