On November 17th, the Thompson Landry Gallery invites you to experience Feedback, a solo exhibition of high-realism oil paintings that instantly catch the eye of viewers as their incredible closeness to reality approaches a visual illusion.
The hands are one of the most expressive parts of the human body. Zekoff has mastered the ability to capture what is the mood of his subject by simply portraying the hands. Their imaginative positions have an incredible emotive power and can conjure a range of states of mind such as anxiety, concern, protection and love.
The artist is a master chiaroscurist, using the effect of bright lights and dark shadows to create such strong depth that the subjects seem to reach out of the canvas towards the viewer. The simplicity and purity of these stimulating images exude a soothing calm as they contradict the overwhelming influx of images that saturate and convolute our everyday lives in modern society.
