Sin - Tim Schultz, 1994
Walking into MOP to explore Tim Schultz’ s newest exhibition was a fairly frightening experience. Schultztown is a retrospective of Shultz’s work, put on display as a fire sale to make some room in his studio.
Infernal Luxury - Tim Schultz, 1996
The collection covered more than a decade of Schultz’s work, covering his changing aesthetics and themes. One thing united all his work and that was the fascinatingly grotesque nature of his figures.
Echo of Spring - Tim Schultz, 2006
The paintings were hungs from floor to ceiling, with prices and the occasional title painted on the support columns of the gallery. There was no structure to the way the show was hung, which added to the ad hoc nature of such a bizarre and vast collection.

Crown of Roses - Tim Schultz, 2000
Also showing was Bed-knobs and Broomsticks, a collaborative collection of works from Monika Behrens and Rochelle Haley.
Witch's Hammer - Behrens & Haley, 2011
These beautiful and delicate watercolours were technically wonderful and also filled with a wonderful sense of humor. The exhibition explored the role of female power and witchcraft by placing together an impressive array if dildos with plants and animals associated with the practice of witchcraft.
Stinking Nightshade - Behrens & Haley, 2010
In Search of Long Life (detail) - Behrens & Haley, 2011
It was definitely a show that made botanical illustration just a little cooler. Love it.
Members Nest - Bahrens & Haley, 2011
Behrens & Haley
A great couple of shows. They are up for another week (until April 10, 2011) so get along if you can. If you can’t, check them out online!
