Draftsman and sculptor Stephen Talasnik creates intricate fantastical structures, inspired, in part, by the work of Surrealist artists. Elusive Landscape presents a selection of recent pencil and ink drawings whose rich surfaces – intensely worked with a combination of traditional drawing techniques, frottage, erasure, and abrasion – are as otherworldly as Talasnik’s images. A suspended construction in the Museum’s atrium represents the artist’s three-dimensional interpretation of a form in Yves Tanguy’s Multiplication of the Arcs, included in the exhibition.
