Shizu Saldamando: All Tomorrow's Parties November 24, 2012

Shizu Saldamando's work proposes a decidedly contemporary take on portraiture, in which the conventional constructs of identity are challenged by laying signifiers and hybrid meanings that hint at the complexity of ethnicity, race, class and gender. Her collaged paintings of close friends appear sparse, but show a keen awareness and multi layered interpretation of ordinary social situations, interactions and moments. The opening reception is on October 12 from 5 pm to 7 pm.
