ASSAF EVRON - The sea was smooth, perfectly mirroring the sky
Andrea Meislin Gallery announces Assaf Evron’s one-person show 'the sea was smooth, perfectly mirroring the sky.' This will be Evron’s first exhibition at the gallery, and will include photographs, photographic objects and sculpture. The exhibition will be on view from March 5- April 25, 2015. Lending from a variety of disparate topics, Assaf Evron’s work investigates the deceptive nature of vision and the ways in which it influences social structures. Positioned between the abstract and the figurative, Evron’s work employs a photographic logic on three-dimensional objects, exploring a space that lies between perception and its rationalization. the sea was smooth, perfectly mirroring the sky will include works from Evron’s latest bodies of work created in Chicago over the past three years, most notably, the Visual Pyramid After Alberti (2013-2014), and a series of sculptures based on graphic representations of Color Spaces (2014-2015). The bold purple photographs from the Visual Pyramid series are inspired by Evron’s interest in aesthetic philosophy, focusing on the work of Renaissance thinker Leon Batista Alberti. Following Alberti’s theory of linear perspective, Evron uses an infrared camera to capture the light beams projected by an Xbox Kinect devise on everyday objects, thus exercising a literal translation of Alberti’s theory into a photographic process.
