The Holden Street Gallery is proud to presentAHISTORIC FABLES
May 3rd – May 16th
Opening Reception Saturday May 3, 6-9pm
Also join us for a Gallery Night reception Thursday, May 16 from 6 to 9pm
A selection of prints, drawings & paintings by Brian Alves reflecting a fascination with the pages of books and the collision of the real and surreal collective historic unconscious.
Brian draws his inspiration from 19th and 20th century primary and secondary school textbooks to build a personal symbology of surreal, ahistoric fables. Interrupting or distorting familiar narratives, his recent work is a distillation of animal imagery, iconic historical figures and textbook pages abridged from their original context.
Gallery hours are Mon & Wed from 4 to 6pm & Fri from 10am to 1pm. The Holden Street Gallery is located at 97 Holden Street, Smith Hill, Providence. www.holdenstreetgallery.com
