Black in Black fuses the artists’ two distinct styles: Conlon typically uses a gamut of color, whereas Jenkins prefers a transparent, muted range. Jenkins and Conlon settled on ‘shades of black’ to allow their styles to merge in their collaborative works.
Many of the pieces portray a dark-sided humor that the two artists share. Works include a tree growing out of a dead newspaper box, a baby controlling a pair of police officer legs, and The Blaster (pictured above) seemingly at war with the rest of the show.
