Exhibition Information

Publication writer : Dylan Young

For this exhibition, Keith Orskuz will be exhibiting a suite of new digital paintings centered on the actions and events surrounding the character of Buffy the Vampire Slayer s. Using the architecture from this popular T.V series, each of Orskuz’s paintings will focus on the moment of change from human to vampire, thereby becoming metaphors for transformation. In Buffy’s world, the problems that teenagers face literally become demons. Such melodramatic inflation of the character’s personal lives, allow the viewer to recognize themselves through the fantastical safety of the lens. Using allegorical devices as his cues, Orskuz will extract visual elements from these worlds and isolate them as key symbolic and metaphoric markers.
