Opening Reception: Chris Domenick’s Private Figure Exhibition
Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 4:30pm
Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery

FREE!

In the solo exhibition Private Figure, interdisciplinary artist Chris Domenick flirts with designed objects that recall domestic interiors, an extension of his studio practice based out of a former Subway restaurant in Canaan, Connecticut. Lamps fill the gallery, displayed as works of art while also filling the space with light. Drawings, prints, fragments of paper, or found imagery are suspended inside of frames that hang on the wall and press the limits of their own decorative nature.
