Sesame is proud to present “Icon
Resistance”, an exhibition of new
paintings by Henrijs Preiss.
Taking medieval and Byzantine religious
icons as his starting point, Henrijs submerges
the sacred object in the grit and alienation
of the 21st century. Forced to adapt to
contemporary conditions, his icons become
rough, raw, and yet at the same time intricate
and resplendent - spiritual objects for
a post-religious era.
Henrijs
has created as truly superb body of work
for this show, and as such it looks
set to be a very exciting event. Please
contact the gallery for more details including
a catalogue and an online preview.
