SUMMARY:Beautiful Parasites
DESCRIPTION:Tammy Salzl\n\n\n\nTopham Brown Memorial GalleryJanuary 11 – March 6\, 2024 \n\n\nTammy Salzl’s exhibition titled Beautiful Parasites is a multi-media installation consisting of paintings\, sculptural objects\, video\, and sound composed by Canadian composer Greg Mulyk. Generally\, there are several dominant themes in Salzl’s artwork. The artwork is a commentary on the human condition often associated with societal norms and status. Some of the works examine consequences of human stewardship within the frame of ecological damage caused by development of heavy industry. The portrayal of human protagonists and animals is almost grotesque with dark undertones inevitably resulting in the feeling of fear and anxiety. Salzl’s work is influenced by surrealist art resulting in dreamlike scenes populated by real and imagined creatures. \nOpening Reception on January 11 at the Vernon Public ARt Gallery from 6:00 – 8:00 pm
