And something tells us he will sell more paintings than the Knicks will sell tickets in the coming months. Hey-o! Josh Keyes has painted a 10-foot long piece, Stampede, as the centerpiece for his new solo show, Migration at Jonathan LeVine Gallery that opens up next week. Here is a little press release on the show:

On the subject of his show title, in the artist’s words, “Migration and displacement were ideas that continued to surface in my mind while I was painting these images. I was thinking about the effects of climate change and the way some ecosystems that thrive in a specific range of temperatures—like polar or tropical climates—are experiencing a shrinking of their boundaries. Ecosystems that were separate are now slowly merging and overlapping one another, causing disruptions in the food web and increased competition for food and space among species. Some become displaced and are forced to migrate, in order to survive.”
