535 W 25th St
Leipzig-based
Aris Kalaizis, whose work has been showcased in exhibitions throughout Germany and in the United States, continues to paint scenarios that are carefully crafted, yet strangely surreal in Gettersby, his New York solo debut. Ranging from interior to outdoor scenes, and from rectilinear to round canvases, relationships clearly exist between the figures portrayed in many of his works and the environments in which they are situated. Drawing as much from cinema as the world around him, Kalaizis "works from the perspective of a film director, using all the tools in the painter's arsenal," writes critic Carol Strickland. Yet, she continues, "as in performance art, or the disparate array of objects in an installation, Kalaizis' work demands participation of the audience."
A conversation between
Aris Kalaizis and art critic and author Carol Strickland will take place on Wednesday, October 24 at 7 pm, with introductory remarks by Sara Reisman, independent curator and Program Director at the ISCP/International Studio and Curatorial Program, where Kalaizis is currently a resident. This event is free and open to the public and a short reception will follow.
