OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday May 16, 6-8pm.  Artist in attendance.   

“In Waiting” takes it title from the exhibitions central piece  “las Meninas” ( the ladies in waiting) a recreation of Velazquez famous  masterpiece. As a contemporary figurative painter who is interested in  the tradition of painting from life, these Sock Monkey paintings are  painted directly from unique dioramas I set up for each work

Attempting  to read the interactions of this odd and strange cast of personalities,  we can easily identify and superimpose ourselves onto their simple  primate forms. In this act of simple transference, we can feel their  many situations and relationships. In their theatrical and  anthropomorphic quality, each painting shines light on the complexity of  being human and the constant shape shifting we experience in the  Theatre of Life.Ian Tan Gallery
