RECOMMENDED: Brooklyn-born artist Joyce Pensato’s exhibition Batman Returns is currently on view at Friedrich Petzel Gallery (537 West 22nd Street) through February 25th. The installation resurrects the Batman motif used in the artist’s early paintings, accompanied by other familiar pop culture characters. Pensato’s bold, gestural work illuminates the darker, more sinister side of American cartoons and childhood icons. Pensato studied at The New York Studio School and is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award.
