Another Los Angeles exhibition that should be interesting.
Fabien Castanier cordially invites you to the Opening Reception with the Artists
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th 6-9PM
Fabien Castanier Gallery is proud to present the first exhibition in the U.S. by the Italian artists, the Miaz Brothers with “Miaz Brothers and the Masters.” The exhibition will open September 13 and run until October 11.
The Miaz Brothers present a radical new take on portraiture. The siblings work in tandem to conceptualize and create large-format pieces on canvas using aerosol paint. The Antimatter Series, as their body of work is known, has incorporated a diverse range of subjects, and for this exhibition they will focus on figures from the Renaissance – the “Masters.”
“We look to provide a visual experience that activates our awareness that compels the viewer to recognize and re-establish the limits of his or her own perception, to regain control of the real.”
With these evocative, ghost-like portraits, the brothers explore the notion of perception rather than representation. They have broken down the material – the details and the texture of faces and expressions – and literally blurred everything truly tangible about the image. Thus, the artists hope to present the viewer with an exercise in memory and personal association, rendering the soul of the portrait rather than any concrete signifiers. Their paintings are ethereal and mysterious – stirring interpretations of familiar figures.
The artists will be in Los Angeles prior to the opening of the exhibition. For press inquiries, interviews, and additional requests, please contact the gallery.
