On a magical night in 1970, Dock Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres while trippin’ balls. (He thought he had the night off so he dropped a bunch of acid earlier that day, then got the call. Brain faht!) On a magical night in 1991, under similar conditions, I climbed so fuggin’ high up a tree that it took me six hours and three cries to get down. Guess which one of us inspired Jay Kaplan’s eye-popping new series of resin paintings.
The show runs from June 28 to July 24 at Secret Project Robot in Williamsburg (210 Kent Ave.). It’s called “Ellis, D.” Get it? Jay’s work is mind-blowing in person but you can also admire it online.
