Jeffrey Vallance "Relics and Reliquaries"
Tanya Bonakdar Gallery
This event has ended.
For over thirty years Vallance has turned a critical and humorous eye toward his own wide-ranging experience, using his adventures as the basis for his drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance based pieces. His childhood in California, voyages to the Polynesian Islands and Iceland, residences in Las Vegas and the Arctic, and sojourns to the Vatican are all represented in his work. Vallance’s examination of these memories, journeys and explorations combines a pseudo-anthropological approach with an art historically informed practice, and addresses themes of faith, myth, and ritual, the power of pop culture, and the historical and contemporary geo-political landscape. Interweaving these themes and topics, Vallance presents the results of his inquiries in works that are at once wittily subversive and earnestly revelatory.
