Andrew Salgado's exhibition, Self-Portrait as a Stack of Books, explores the concept that individuals are shaped by the books they read. Through a series of engaging paintings, Salgado creates visual narratives akin to chapters in a book. Working from London and New Brunswick, he incorporates references to notable authors and their works, such as Ottessa Moshfegh and Vladimir Nabokov. His artistic approach prioritizes intuitive marks and layered meaning, allowing viewers to derive personal interpretations. The exhibition runs until June 28 at BEERS London, showcasing the interconnectedness of literature and visual art.
Salgado's work reflects the idea that we are shaped by the literature we consume, embodying narratives through his art, inviting diverse interpretations.
Self-Portrait as a Stack of Books features intuitive applications of paint that evoke layers of memory and art, allowing personal experiences to shape understanding.
