Painter and ukulele artisan Amy Crehore has prepared this entrancing (and beautifully framed) work for the upcoming Dark Pop 2.0 show at NYC’s Last Rites gallery.

“We all had to do a piece of ‘dark art’ for the show and this is mine,” says Crehore on her blog. It’s called A Curious Shelter, and features a smiling, Krampus-like monster with inscrutable motives toward the naked girl he’s sheltering. Is he sinister or sweet? Or both — dark art as dark chocolate?

I love it.
