Drawing connections between personal identity, digital distortion, political division, and the phenomenon of the “double.” He’ll discuss how history painting, dream logic, and absurdist symbolism inform his visual language, and how current events like COVID-19, climate change, BLM, and the rise of disinformation shape the narratives in his canvases in dual realities. Expect a thought-provoking discussion about fractured selves, parallel realities, and the power of painting as a medium to navigate the chaos of modern life. Audience Q&A to follow.
