Upcoming show: Jaybo at Tache Gallery

Avid readers of the art-chelsea blog (if they exist) may remember the Lou Ros artist spotlight from last month. Last week, Lou wrapped up the exhibition at Tache Gallery featuring his impressive portrait series "Faces" and "Paper Faces."  Following Lou Ros, Tache presents another famed European street artist, Jaybo Monk, with the exhibition "Entoptics." (Opening: 6-9pm, Thursday, April 28, 2011)



 Artist statement on Entoptics:
Under suitable conditions light falling on the eye may render visible certain objects within the eye itself. These perceptions are called entoptical.

Entoptic images have a physical basis in the painted image . My paintings are not much different from optical illusions, which are perceptual effects that arise from interpretations of the image by the brain. Because entoptic images are caused by phenomena within the observer‘s own reflexion , they share one feature with optical illusions and hallucinations: the observer cannot share a direct and specific view of the phenomenon with others. The deepest reflexion is not shareable but these pictures , not me, can reach this deepest place.
