Nick Irzyk is a NYC based painter with a background in printmaking (and one of the impresarios behind A.D. gallery in the LES). We talk about his recent paintings which draw from the visual vernacular of the office and the factory via diagrammatic imagery. We also get into the tyranny of Modernism, the fleeting fatalism of Utopia, the beauty of UK rave flyers, and the relationship of painting to drawing and time.
