Painter Chris Cosnowski is showing two of his highly-realistic still life paintings in the project room at Linda Warren Gallery. The content is heavy, the subjects are silly, the brushwork is tight and the colors are bright. What’s it all add up to? Seems like there might be something a little quixotic going on here. (And that’s a compliment! Well, let’s say that could be a compliment.)
