SAN DIEGO (December 14, 2018) ‑ Sparks Gallery is pleased to announce new featured works by talented San Diego artist Alexander Arshansky for a new show, “Abducting Reality”. The exhibit will display intricately painted works that bring the conceptual into physical form while questioning absoluteness and corporeality.

Art critic Charles Pilar declares, “I have found myself viewing his work and spending a long period of time at each piece intrigued by the story within. I have also found when I view that same piece again later, I see something I had missed the first time. This is a very unique talent. I highly recommend seeing his art as it is very powerful, and you will find your mind opened with the messages within his work.”

About the Artist:

Alexander Arshansky is a Russian-born artist whose style is a combination of Biomorphic Abstraction, Cubist-like compositions, with detailed and intricate designs.
