MIRAGE

The surreal abstracts in this exhibition extend the Surrealist legacy of dissolving boundaries between dream and reality, history and imagination. David Richardson’s Trojan War paintings transform Homeric myth into uncanny, timeless visions that echo Giorgio de Chirico’s metaphysical surrealism. Evan Sebastian Lagache’s poured abstracts summon the chance and gesture of Abstract Expressionism, yet drift into a dreamlike cosmos where gravity and form feel suspended. Rick Secen’s impressionistic figuratives glow with the otherworldly light of Odilon Redon, offering images that appear as fleeting visions rather than fixed realities. Tatiana Lisovskaya’s cubist-inspired abstracts fracture space with a rhythm recalling her Surrealist impulse revealed in forms that hover between order and illusion. S.L. Fuller’s Les Demoiselle collection, with its elegantly drawn yet whimsical ladies, plays in dialogue with fin-de-siècle illustration while slipping into the theatrical imagination of Erté’s Deco era, where fantasy and social satire converge. Salvador Olivieros’ mystical acrylic abstraction aligns with his search for the spiritual in art, their Surrealist intensity arising from automatism and symbolism. Finally, Anthony Haden-Guest’s cartoonery underscores Surrealism’s wit and irony, where the absurd becomes a lens through which deeper truths are revealed.
