THE SERPENT SHED SILVER
Christopher Charles Curtis October 4 - 27, 2018 Opening Reception: Thursday, October 4 6 - 8 PM In The Serpent Shed Silver, Curtis' second one-person exhibition at CANVAS, the artist presents his most recent visions in a series of drawings, meticulously rendered in graphite on paper.
In this series, Curtis expands upon his unique use of symbolism to illustrate the notion of the dissolution of the ego. Pulling references from old photographs, Gnostic beliefs and personal mythology, the artist portrays the ego in a variety of phantasmagoric forms in order to fully grasp its effect on the psyche. |
