CONOR BACKMAN @ NUDASHANK opens SATURDAY, MARCH 23rd


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 


Conor Backman recently moved to New York City from Richmond, VA where he was co-owner of Reference Art Gallery from 2009-2012. He received a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011. Recent exhibitions include group shows “F(re)e Play” at Stadium (New York), “The Untouchables” at Saamlung (Hong Kong), and a solo presentation with Mixed Greens at the (e)merge art fair (Washington DC).
