Pablo's Birthday
This event has ended.
Pablo’s Birthday presents Picture This, a summer group show exhibiting three artists that create distinct “digital paintings” that define a line between the real and the imagined. Each artist constructs hybrid spaces that imply an almost infinite recombination of the past and present, while exploring and exploiting shared intersections between photography and painting. Thematically rich, and with poignant asides to art history, literature, and pop culture, these works simultaneously appear impossibly illusory and undeniably hyperreal.
“On a conceptual and technical level these tableaus consist of fragments that are reassembled at oblique angles to their original context. They are not meant to convey logical conclusions nor to allow for easy categorization. I feel akin to past and contemporary artists, writers, and filmmakers who uncannily deconstruct rigid notions of reality and perception. The extension of this sensibility with computer-based applications is only natural to me as a reflection upon the Digital Age in which we all coexist.” - Carla Gannis
