"The most important lesson that man can learn from life, is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transmute it into joy." Rabindranath Tagore

Rodrigo Luff’s “Afterglow” at Thinkspace Projects.

Opening on Saturday, June 29th, 2019 at Thinkspace Projects is artist Rodrigo Luff’s incredible solo exhibition, “Afterglow.”

Luff's personally inflected figurative works blend realism and fantasy, recombining the edges of the probable with the incandescence of daydream. Expressing the imagined and impossible through the contours of a physically plausible world, Luff stages ambiguous borders between the spiritual and material, allowing the internal and emotive external expression through nature. This tension between the manifest and invisible haunts Luff's intensely contrasting and vibrantly hued imagery, while a state of perpetual atmospheric dusk hosts these ghostly apparitions, both human and animal, hemmed by the fiction of otherworldly light. With edges cast in acidic, dayglow gleam, Luff levitates their edges in buoyant, fluorescent halos.

The exhibition will be on view until July 20th, 2019.
