Satellite: Eye In The Sky
August 12 - September 12
SLab, Silverlens Gallery
SLab proudly presents Satellite: Eye In The Sky by Gus Albor. The show is inspired by the omniscience of the satellite, its relentless scrutinizing and participation in our lives. “Are things of magnitude really being monitored by certain individuals through this devise round-the-clock?” Asks Albor. He introduces geometric forms, metal, computers and laser lights, conveying the austere technological aspect of the satellite, against intimate earth tones that link it back to the human.
Albor, a seasoned abstract expressionist, first emerged from the 70’s art scene with his now signature abstract and minimalist approach. He sustains this contemplative nature in his show, signifying our collective and constant meditation on the simplicity and complexity of life, in comparison to the ceaseless watchfulness of the satellite. This visual dialogue is resounded in the make and imagery of the paintings and sculptures and even more in the restless laser light installation.
Satellite: Eye In The Sky by Gus Albor opens at 6 pm in SLab, Silverlens Gallery on August 12 and runs until the September 12, 2009. It opens simultaneously with Some Of The Things You Don’t Already Have by Julius Clar at 20Square Gallery.
