Last weekend, Known Gallery presented The Evil That Men Do, a series of new works by SSUR. SSUR (AKA Ruslan Karablin) is a Russian born, New York produced artist. This was Karablin's first major comprehensive solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The visual framework is bold, confronting and controversial. Politics, culture clashes, and everyday struggle are strong elements in the work, which is up through April 21st.
