Opening Thursday, June 7th through Saturday, July 7, 2012, the "Myth and Metaphor" exhibition will feature recent works of NEA-acclaimed artist Howard Lerner at Synchronicity Space Fine Arts in the West Village, New York City.   

Lerner's work is a voyage into sculptural abstraction, melding elements of kitsch and Judaica, mismatched buttons and Hebrew lettering, scrap metal and modern interpretations of Midrashic histories.  Lerner's characters are often a menagerie of raw personal effects and found objects i.e. broken coffee cups, seashells, crystals, spark plugs and the like. 

Boundaries blur between the inner and outer worlds, the sentimental and the practical, the literal and the contextual.  In the process of reshaping these definitions, what is physical versus spiritual is wholly reconstructed. The result is a collage that disregards historical conventions to give real meaning and engagement to that history.
