Profile

The Wild West gets a biting update in this trio of large-scale charcoal landscapes, two rickety sculptures, silk-screened vellum panels, and death personified in the form of a taxidermied buffalo. Adam Helms has a knack for pinning present-day villains (in this case, Al Qaeda) against their long-lost historical foes (in this case, Western wild cards). His hyperrealist technique heightens the sense that—sorry!—the worst is yet to come. — Rachel Wolff
