Exhibition is availabe exclusivly at Artsy https://bit.ly/3ROBXFt Art Axcess Gallery is delighted to present "Echoes of the Unseen Self," an exhibition by Ukrainian contemporary artist Valik Lapshin, showcasing a selection of his portraits created between 2019 and 2023. This collection reveals self-portraits hidden within others, inviting viewers into a realm where art and identity converge. Valik Lapshin, a master of portraiture, weaves a continuous thread through his diverse and experimental oeuvre, regularly returning to this discipline as a reflective practice. Each portrait, whether it's a classical chamber piece or a large-scale painting, becomes a mirror for the artist, embodying his belief in self-portraiture disguised in the visage of others. "Their eyes, but my gaze," Lapshin articulates, capturing the essence of his work. These are not mere representations of individuals but constructions of identity, where the artist sees himself reflected in the guise of others.
