Historias Diminutas
AndrewShire Gallery is pleased to present Historias Diminutas, a solo
exhibition by Barcelona-based artist Eva Armisen whose oil paintings and
etchings illustrate extraordinary forms of amusement intended to charm, shield and
divert loved ones from all forces dark and dismal.
The exhibition will consist of Armisen's drawn and painted character
activities which serve to suggest ways of circumnavigating daily human struggles.
Her depictions of the inspired frivolities that occur within worry-free fun
zones and imagined dream states also generate a likely awareness of one's own
self-deception. The artist shows us that the seemingly small events of
everyday life, like spending time with family and friends, are the ones with the
greatest meaning, and that difficult passages in life are only momentary.
Armisen's aim of painting us a better world comes
with the self-knowledge that, sometimes, it can be like little lies to make
you happy.But her conviction, if it doesn't heal today,
it will heal tomorrow, offers the ultimate faith needed to make it through
each day.
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 27, 7-10pm
