Hank Fialkow | Red Chair

About the artist:
I’ve been making art of varying quality ever since I was a kid. As far as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by abstraction and graphic presentation of ideas. Art gives me ways to present my world, explore perception, and create experiences for others. It’s also personally rewarding for many of the same reasons.

About this work:
This project aims to create dreamlike, contemplative images through contrasting natural backgrounds and a utilitarian object. Using a red Emeco 1006 navy chair, the viewer is invited to contemplate emptiness and immerse themselves in the image. The images are designed more to ask question than to solve them. Because of this, much of the meaning of the work is left for the viewer to determine for themselves.
