Sparks Gallery is proud to present United Fantasy, a captivating new series by Alexander Arshansky. Known for his vibrant use of color and intricate, fluid lines, Arshansky invites viewers on a mesmerizing journey through forms that evoke the essence of living organisms—plants, landscapes, body parts, and organic structures. His works blur the boundary between imagination and reality, drawing the viewer into a dreamlike world where exploration feels infinite. While the complexity of his compositions may disorient at times, each piece is anchored by an element that gently pulls you back to the tangible. Join us at the opening reception on January 19th to celebrate this stunning exhibition and experience the evocative power of Arshansky’s artistry. Admission is free, and the artist will be present. United Fantasy will run from January 3 – March 2, 2025.
