The most recent show by the collective known as Phantoms in the Front Yard, curated by Pennylane Shen, includes representational art by Michael Abraham, Jeremy Birnbaum, Andrea Hooge, Paul Morstad, Jay Senetchko and Jonathan Sutton. Although working in many different styles, from high realist to comically stylized, members of PITFY all focus on the human fi gure, which they feel has been “banished to the backyard” by contemporary art movements and theories.
