Crocheted cynicism and yarn-covered confections by renowned street artist Olek have found temporary asylum at Chelsea's Jonathan LeVine Gallery. From Feb. 23 to March 23, bright panels referencing riddled romance cover a majority of the gallery walls and stylish skeletons draped in metallic skeins eagerly await visitors.

Keep reading for highlights, but please be forewarned of the adult content (partial nudity) in the photographs to follow.
