Escapism Exhibition
Es·cap·ism (noun)
the tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.
Escapism is a fifteen-piece painting series surrounding my love for fairy tales, myths, and fables, shown in the Looking Glass Gallery. This body of work visualizes my interpretations of various stories, including the German fairy tale “One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes” by the Brothers Grimm and the character Mr. Tumnus from The Chronicles of Narnia. I also imagined concepts for other pieces, such as The Staircase and Open House.
