The Painted Double by Shanti Shea An

Thursday, 11 July 2024 to Thursday, 25 July 2024
Gallery

The works in The Painted Double address this duality through the formal qualities of mirroring, symmetry, and folding. These paintings invite the viewer to see two things at once—a surface to be looked at and a narrative to be opened. Shanti Shea An’s project attends to this complex sense of twofoldness by interrogating how painted images place us at a threshold between looking and...

Each work is then transformed by fire, eroding and unifying the surface, which is cleaned to reveal the wood’s grain structure in a unique way that connects to the material’...

The urgency of the environmental crisis and rapid technological change necessitates new ways of imagining ourselves, as contingent with active geobiological forces. The three-dimensional photographic artworks disrupt historical perspectives of the lithic as a stable backdrop. The eruptive stones, energetic contingent...
