Okan and Brian's show, Ironing, featured new (and very different) work by the two boys. Okan's large, abstract paintings move away from his stylized illustrations, so much so that I thought they were Brian's at first glance. Brian, however, featured process pieces, building an old plane from a kit, and a contraption with levers and buttons that corresponded to lights and sounds. As friends, their influence in each other's work is apparent, but doesn't distract from their unique visions.
