Justin Cole “What’s Ripe Will Rot” @ Lyles & King, NYC

What’s Ripe Will Rot continues Justin Cole’s exploration of life and death’s cyclical nature. In this collection, Cole captures the enormity of time’s passage and surrenders it to the earth. Flowers burn, feral and untamed. Fading figures are conjured in desolate landscapes. In this world, there are no beginnings or endings, only the uncertain middle. With each passing moment, the subjects disappear further into the unknown.
