Andrew Cornell Robinson will present a captivating selection of fragmented figural abstractions. Titled Confabulations + Fantabulosas, this body of work is crafted through a unique process involving custom silkscreen printed underglaze decal transfers of portraits on smoke-fired ceramic substrates. The printed imagery is thoughtfully layered with painterly abstractions using glazes, enamels, and colored slips on both clay and metal. These assemblages, originating from research into revisionist histories, manifest as queer and peculiar abstracted portraits.<a href="https://www.andrewcornellrobinson.com/confabulations-fantabulosas/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn more</a>-﻿--This project is made possible in part with public funds from the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts.
