Featured Event:

"Transmutations", a solo exhibition for Sarkis Sislian 

Text: 

Faces melt, deconstruct and morph back into formation in these introspective self-portraits. The brooding paintings, utilizing plenty of black and grey tones that dissolve with other colors, give off a disorienting character akin to the works of Francis Bacon. The hallucinatory faces express identity clashes and existential questioning. Coming in a wide array of sizes, from thumb sized cards to medium scale canvases, they appear to zoom in and out of focus, allowing one to take a close look but also see the bigger picture. These insomniac disintegrations of the Self are no longer mere portrait of the individual in the physical sense. They have mutated to expose the painter's entire psyche.
