Stan Narten Exhibition
Kravets/Wehby Gallery
This event has ended.
The Kravets/Wehby Gallery presents a solo exhibition of new paintings by Stan Narten.
In this latest series, Stan’s paintings have become increasingly dense and intricate. All are composed as portraits, each comprised of a solitary ‘character’ within a mass of abstract forms. They invoke spatial and figural illusions, visual anomalies and architectural elements. Inspired by references from Classical European portraiture, Narten utilizes the style of classical painting with glazes to create the luminance reminiscent of the old masters. The title of the exhibition is inspired by a concept in philosophy and neuroscience. The Three Pound Universe is a metaphor for the known universe existing as a sole construct of the brain, culminating in all feeling, perception, distortion, and illusion.
