Faux Sho’ promotes contemporary artists exploring methods and materials that highlight illusionism of all forms to fool the viewers’ eye. Work exhibited will translate and redefine traditional trompe l’oeil realism. Faux Sho’ exaggerates the false and recreates urban textures, street art parodies and scenes from life into two and three-dimensional imitations.

Faux Sho’ featuring Avital Burg, Kate Clark, Hannah Cole, Tim Conlon, A.J. Fries, Daniel Greene, Do Ho Suh, Robert C. Jackson, Brett Kern, Ben Owens, Naomi- Safran-Hon, Mary Sweeney, Courtney Young and Dean West.

Exploring the Feminine in Egg Tempera: Works by Chaltin Pagan
Curated by Jay Schuck
October 5 – December 28, 2014
Reception on November 9, from 1 – 4 PM

In support of emerging artists, the Islip Art Museum’s gift shop will feature a series of egg tempera paintings by Chaltin Pagan, curated by Jay Schuck.

Pagans’ paintings of Barbie Doll images explore ideas of the body, the feminine, and the uncanny. The use of egg tempera emphasizes the presence of the painter, while connecting her to the revered tradition of icon paintings.
