๐๐ Happy Birthday @konstantinkakanias!๐บ๐ปโฃ What better way to celebrate than to come see the artistโs solo exhibition, ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด, now open at Gavlak Palm Beach! โฃ โฃ Konstantin Kakaniasโฃ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ (๐๐ฏ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฎ), 2019โฃ Gouache on paperโฃ 15.5 x 21.5 in (39.4 x 54.6 cm)โฃ โฃ For the second iteration of Konstantin Kakaniasโ exhibition, Mrs. Tependris finds herself in Palm Beach, still investigating the complications of life in quarantine, adapting new coping mechanisms with characteristic creativity.โฃ โฃ Kakanias began creating ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด at the onset of lockdown, authoring humorous captions from the cleverly critical perspective of his iconic character, Mrs. Tependris. First shown at Gavlak Los Angeles, ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ข๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ด has evolved; now comprising of new works. The series of posts and featured paintings offer a perspective on our present times; navigating through what in March we would have thought to be a post- quarantine world, enjoying carefree and mask-free days, we are de facto stuck within the gloomy days of the โnew normal.โ While collectively heading towards an uncertain future, Mrs. Tependris inspires us to โtravel with the mind.โ๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฆฐ๐ญโฃ โฃ View the exhibition in person at Gavlak Palm Beach until October 10, 2020.
