This event has ended.

Brian Fahlstrom presents new oil paintings that wrestle with figuration and abstraction, the past and present, the seen and unseen. His intensive process, delicately layered paint, and keen instinct for color, generates absorbing and enlivening paintings. Inspired by Giovanni di Paolo’s (1400 - 1482) panel painting John the Baptist Entering the Wilderness and his manuscript paintings illustrating Dante’s Paradiso, along with Cimabue’s (1240 - 1302) Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi fresco which depicts St. John of the Apocalypse after retreating to the Isle of Patmos where he receives divine visions from an angel, Fahlstrom views his own work as depictions of journeys both supernatural and physical, and he sees paint as a conduit for mystical experience.

Brian Fahlstrom lives and works in Los Angeles. His work has recently been shown at Meulensteen, New York and Marc Foxx, Los Angeles. His work resides in the permanent collections of the Oakland Museum of Art and the Orange County Museum of Art.
