If you’re not one for water lilies and starry nights, don’t forget that oil paint can also yield some seriously tough stuff. This on-canvas series by Brooklyn-based punk rocker turned artist Dan Witz captures mosh pits in all their sweaty, bruise-inducing splendor. Hordes of T-shirted and tattooed punk bros (and sometimes gals) lock limbs and fight for space in his larger works, while individual portraits zero in on showgoers in an orgasmic-looking, sonic rapture.
