Jason Bard Tarmosky's first show at Like The Spice Gallery in Brooklyn opens tomorrow and up for peeps is Elder Kinder, his series of paintings featuring his grandparents. The paintings are challenging, witty and slightly uncomfortable. The models play a series of different characters - the ballerina, the cowboy - and have familiar and complex expressions on their faces, which hold your attention even over their unexpected clothing choices.

Social norms, being young, being old, freedom of expression...it's all there. Click here to see more of his work.
