Kris Kuksi’s - previously featured here - passionately awaited Imminent Utopia show will go on display at Joshua Liner Gallery tomorrow evening bringing you twisted gothic architecture on a microcosmic scale.

Blue Girl with the Striped Blue Scarf by Andrew Foster, oil on linen over panel, 2008 - click for details/larger view
