Michael Zansky: Deep in the Shallows brings together sixteen-by-twelve-foot carved plywood paintings and a series of burnt drawings on paper. Inspired by a range of artistic and historical sources—from Francisco de Goya and Vincent van Gogh to ancient Egyptian and Assyrian art—Zansky creates cryptic, hallucinatory worlds inhabited by fantastical hybrid creatures. Using both hand and mechanical means, Zansky creates baroque, enigmatic tableaux whose subjects appear as fragments in a drama from some unidentified and unknowable storyboard. Deep in the Shallows, marks the first exhibition of Zansky’s plywood series, and is a vivid existential musing on the human condition.
