Next to the Sea at the Lower East Side's Munch Gallery brings together nautical-themed works of three artists, Pierre Botardo, David Hochbaum, and Jacob Dahlstrup Jensen. Ranging from collage-like compositions to tattoo needle-embossed imagery, the works border on the surreal and lend the show an escapist vibe. All aboard, anyone? Next to the Sea closes on February 5, 2012.
