Making A Better Yesterday Today: Isabel Samaras Solo Exhibition of Paintings

Painting beloved characters from “I Dream of Jeannie,” “Gilligan’s Island” & “Planet of the Apes,” Samaras at times constructs classical tableaus, referencing the Renaissance masters’ use of people, places and stories from Classical Antiquity & at other times references the intimacy of Dutch genre painting. Universes collide to create an alternate reality where our favorite people can co-exist in a world that is at once hilarious & bittersweet, an alternate dimension to address the "what if."
