Sasha Blanton - Ancient Experiences, paintings and drawings (2008-09-01 - 2008-10-06)

Ch'i Contemporary Fine Art is delighted to announce the opening of Ancient Experiences paintings and drawings by emerging artist Sasha Blanton. Sasha Blanton’s first solo show Ancient Experiences is inspired by his statement, “Objective truth is a fallacy, all we are is our experience.” Drawn to fundamental metaphysical questions, Blanton’s paintings explore the ever evolving and multifarious nature of human experience. Using the surface as a metaphor for the passage of time, each layer’s textural element gives the impression of entropy. Focusing on the figure from a classical viewpoint, each painting depicts the intangible as experienced through feeling, beyond the grasp of physicality. In addition, to his figurative work Blanton will also exhibit a series entitled “Fluting” which reference the earliest known traces of human markings.
