Lowbrow artist Anthony Ausgang's brilliantly colored,superficially cheery creatures engender a wacky tone from whichever greater heights of lunacy are possible. Ausgang's characters are metaphors for the bewildered people we meet everyday, and his cartoon works are parables for the situations in which we find ourselves mired. Unlike Saturday morning cartoons, however, Ausgang's works are ambiguous: the narratives are open-ended and subject to the viewer's interpretation.
