Generic Arts Solutions (G.A.S.) consist of artists Matt Vis and Tony Campbell, who make concept driven artwork. Their works blend art history and humor to comment on present-day concerns such as immigration, capital punishment and man-made disasters. For their latest work, they explain:

There is a time for discourse, and there is a time for action; this show celebrates the spirit of change, and the passing of the torch to all of those who possess a commitment to their cause whatever it may be. When we are faced with things that are beyond our control faintheartedness is to be despised.

Their work is currently on view at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery and closes this Saturday.
