Tayloe Piggott Gallery is pleased to present Otherworldly: Select Drawings, a solo exhibition of drawings by artist Stephen Talasnik, on view December 14th, 2023 through February 4th, 2024.
Stephen Talasnik's drawing and sculpture explore the otherworldly landscape and objects that evoke childhood memories. Originally from Philadelphia, Talasnik grew up in an urban neighborhood surrounded by oil refineries, a shipyard, a helicopter factory, and an airport, immersing him in the aesthetics of industrial building. He lived in a house that bordered a local creek, providing him an opportunity to unearth the past as he searched for fossils imbued with fictional narratives. He turned these experiences into a world explored through drawing with pencil and building complex structures from wood.
