Nudashank is pleased to present a solo exhibition of recent works by Conor Backman. Backman’s work conflates and oscillates between sculpture and painting, authentic and simulation, material and image, ironic and actual. For this exhibition Backman will present pieces informed by visual illustrations of otherness, physicality, mimesis, and deception in classical mythology and allegory. Specifically, examples that have been sited or recontextualized in modern psychology and philosophy as metaphors for the unconscious, perception, desire, and understanding.
The Other Real opens Saturday, March 23
7 - 10pm
Exhibition will be on view from March 23 - April 27
