 7 Deadliest, 8/3/18 - 8/28/18 7 Deadliest was a solo exhibition by resident artist, Damion Dreher that explored different manifestations of the seven deadly sins through mixed media paintings. These sins are thought to be seven vices that spur immoral behavior of various scales. His visual language is influenced heavily by urban and decaying spaces like abandoned buildings, busy subway platforms and dive bar bathrooms. This body of work blends abstraction and representation to tell stories through fragmented visual clues. The layers, although torn, ripped and sometimes almost unintelligible, help to convey a message. That is a message of resilience, defiance and sometimes, even a message of hope.
