NON SEQUITUR noun, Latin. a statement that is not connected in a logical way to anything said before it JORGE CASTELLANOS * MICHAEL FANTA * KATE LYDDON * PAWEL SLIWINSKI PREVIEW January 8, 2014. 6-9pm EXHIBITION January 9 - February 8, 2014 Somewhere on the periphery of any depiction of reality lies the realm of imagination and the subconscious. In this exhibition, artists Jorge Castellanos, Michael Fanta, Kate Lyddon, and Pawel Sliwinski demonstrate a prevailing desire to reconcile the real with the unreal, and the conscious with the subconscious. Each of the four artists has devised a cast of characters who represent the proverbial outsider, isolated as a result of their own foolishness, made tragic through the possession of some elusive knowledge, or abandoned through some grotesque realization. These images and objects transcend metaphor: they provide us with a subversively realized document of that which remains unseen, yet lurks ever present beneath the surface of reality, maintaining both symbolic and psychological significance within their selected media. |
