Please join us for the closing reception of DANGER SEASON noon-6p Drinks, nibbles, and music will be provided. la BEAST gallery is pleased to present “Danger Season,” an exhibition of cerebral work by Austrian artist Marianne Vlaschits. Via traditional oil on canvas, Vlaschits contends with landscape as a fictional, idealized subject— reconstructing the classical genre through beautifully horrific amalgamations of human, beast, and elemental matter suspended in climatic ecstasy. The installation contemplates boundless consciousness amid eight works arranged as a light spectrum, each painting representing an interval that is invisible to the naked eye. Vlaschits’ abstract scenes offer intimations of the familiar, only for it to slip away into the ether of super-reality. About the Exhibition + Artist Born 1983, Marianne Vlaschits spent her early years in Wienerwald, the forested highlands of the Northern Limestone Alps in Austria. Vlaschits received her masters from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where she continues to live and work.
