If there’s an opening at Williamsburg’s Cinders gallery, be prepared for some cute stuff. The works collected here usually have a crafty, airy feel about them, and the latest exhibition–comprised of collages, drawings and paintings by Alex Barry, Richard Colman and Josh Slater–is no exception.

The three artists are pals whose work is inspired by zombies, cosmos, science fiction and secret societies. Though each varies in style, all are linked by humorous story lines, DIY aesthetics and bursting colors. And it’s not only color that bursts from the works: Richard Colman likes bursting rainbows, Josh Slater collages planets bursting out of third eyes, and in Alex Barry drawings, it’s penises or ants that usually burst out of cat-headed, sock-only wearing creatures. The three artists’ creations work together in the gallery space to a create weird, sarcastic and mysterious world.

Richard Colman’s massive mural with elongated hands, naked people and weird mechanisms (this whole pile of weirdness reminds me, for some reason, of La Pedrera in Barcelona, the building on roof of which the scenes from “The Passenger” were filmed) takes up half of the gallery space. The wall across from it fits paintings and napkin-size drawings, together with Josh’s, Alex’s and Richard’s joint drawing of their perception of third eyes.

“Ugly People Mating” are humorous and rough cartoonish stories by Alex Barry. His little, funny creatures remind me of Fanny Bostrom’s naughty figurines. The drawings are tempered by Josh Slater’s collages featuring pyramids and Martian landscapes. They suggest alien visitations, the visions of the worlds faraway and variations on ancient civilizations and Masons’ symbols.
