Keith Sklar: de-lux
Saturday, February 13, 2010 - Saturday, March 6, 2010
Opening reception Saturday, February 13, 2010, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Keith Sklar presents de-lux, a series exploring issues of wealth and loss, power and subordination, and the process of seeing itself. His topographical surfaces are built up from found objects or cast and molded acrylic paint. He then creates an image surface in oils, visually flattening the surface with a reverse trompe-l'oeil and confounding the viewer's sense of dimension.
