POSTMODERNISM: Like erotic neon dreams, Jai Tanninen’s striking paintings leave a visual echo on your eyes after you’ve encountered them. “We constantly experience contrasting states of being and make decisions about how we present our identities through things like body language, facial expressions, dress and mannerisms,” as Tanninen told Pineapple magazine, “and I play with these concepts when creating my figurative paintings.” Meanwhile, an audio-visual artist specializing in video and feminism, Lesley Marshall is presenting mesmerizing flatstock here: contemplative, two-pass risograph prints which create simple optical illusions. The two collections of work are a perfect contrast to each other, highlighting the strengths and relative visual densities of each.
