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.
