A trio of shows opens tonight at Roq la Rue (2312 Second Ave.) with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Ana Bagayan, an Armenian-American artist based in Los Angeles, paints oddly disturbing (in my opinion) pictures of vacant-eyed children interacting with the cute, fuzzy citizens of the animal kingdom. Ryan Heshka is a long-time Roq la Rue artist with a fondness for retro-sci-fi imagery re-imagined with a twisted, surrealist bent. And finally there’s the enigmatic artist Tin, who has a mini-show of four recent pieces of Steampunk-themed art.
