BEN MOREAU - Recent Etchings

Gallery Exhibition: July 8–30, 2011

Davidson Galleries is honored to present the recent etchings of gallery artist Ben Moreau in the mezzanine. Moreau features himself as the principle locus for his image making. ‘I am primarily concerned with self-portraiture as a vehicle not only for personal reflection, but as an exploration into the human condition." Through compositional devices, art historical reference, and denial of a clear narrative, the artist "... uses humor, self deprecation, and formal abstraction as defense mechanisms to ultimately conceal specific issues of awkwardness, loneliness, insecurity, the fear of failure, and social anxieties and pressures.’
