Jonathan Santlofer: Scrapbook

Jonathan Santlofer: Scrapbook at Pavel Zoubok Gallery. "...Scrapbook centers on Jonathan Santlofer's seamless montages of both popular and art historical images and on the importance of drawing. The exhibition reflects a varied approach to mark making and the documenting of images, inviting new ways of seeing. Santlofer’s restrained palette of blacks, whites, grays and sepia tones allows us to focus on his decidedly graphic language. In these works he returns to his signature use of trompe l’oeil and montage and the expanded relationship between perceived reality and illusion. The cumulative experience is like a 'scrapbook': a collection of pictures, images put together in ways that seem random while being highly considered."
