Miki Carmi is in a show with James Busby at the Stux Gallery. Carmi, who received his MFA from Columbia in 2005, "works from old family portraits, producing compelling and innovative large-scale paintings of aged heads... with heavy [brush] strokes, so the physical properties mimic the texture and visceral qualities of aged skin."
