SIGN UP FOR PREVIEW In Somnia, artist Larisa Brechun lays bare the quiet privacy of the dreaming mind and the fugitive debris of memory, myth, and imagination as it freely floats in the liminal cocoon of sleep, coalescing into mysterious forms that defy daylight logic. Under her gentle hand, soft animal bodies take shape alongside evaporating cosmic beings and primordial symbols of wilderness, all adrift in the penumbra of the dreaming state, suspended in etheric margins between the deep woodland dark and the flirting light of a winking moon. Brechun’s paintings reveal only as much as they desire to be perceived in their tender in-betweenness, a simultaneous urge to hide and to illuminate. Larisa Brechun (b. 1988) is an artist living and working in a small town north of San Antonio, Texas. She discovered her passion for art early in life and went on to study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she began refining the visual language that defines her work today. ―――――――――― location provided by event source: "804 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94109, USA" SF Stuff To Do
