Arslan: Painting and Sculpture

May 4, 2006- June 3, 2006

Arslan

Dillon Gallery

555 W 25th St

Arslan excels in creating painting and sculpture that express clarity of form engulfed in an elusive viscose view. The often solitary, androgynous subjects presented in his work are the intimate us, sheathed in our indiscernible layers. The work presents the private ritual, the silent moment we all experience, not recognizable but familiar.

Both the painting and sculpture capture the gesture of the figure, creating three-dimensional forms dripping with plaster, oil, water, wax or concrete. The resulting installation creates a dialogue between his sculpture and painting, adding an unsettling element. Partly figurative and partly abstract, his large compositions subtly convey the entirety of the figure submerged in a dense chiaroscuro.

The artist was born in a remote village near the Caspian Sea, studied at the Moscow College of Art, and moved in 1990 to New York City where he currently resides. Since his immigration, the artist has exhibited extensively in Europe and the United States. This will be his fifth solo exhibition with Dillon Gallery.
