For Immediate Release:

Lane Meyer Projects is thrilled to present Ready for the Future, a solo exhibition by Kansas City based artist Aaron Storck. Featuring new paintings, video, and sculpture, Storck’s eccentric aesthetic and sharp humor bring levity to cultural critique.

A mischievous visionary for the ages, the Wizard Nyngxt soon makes his grand return to the Rocky Mountains. Graciously interpreting omens with sight gained whilst peering through flickering flame and crystal’s glimmer, our smirking Wizard appears during these dark times to offer insight. Through his paintings and moving pictures, arcane symbols and Medieval science underscore the importance of mystical truths within and surrounding each of us. 

Do you dare to gaze into your future? Seek you the secrets of the past? 

Our great oracle brings light to possibilities favorable and unsavory alike; his charms and ciphers cast a gauze of magic onto the everyday. To truly become Ready for the Future, the mind must roam. Through language garnered intuitively via nonsensical studio-divination, words came to the Wizard and were chronicled by his unflinching hand onto canvas. Premonitions such as “SIGAN,” “2070—DANG,” and “GOOD TIMES, 2200,” offer their enchantment to viewers. Be he sly or genuine, the Wizard Nyngxt plunges forward with anticipation and reckless enthusiasm into the fog of a turbulent future.
