Strangers in Space: A Prismatic Spectacular

The Imperfecta Gallery is proud to present Strangers in Space: A Prismatic Spectacular. This fine art exhibition presents work by Pop Surrealist artist Ten Yetman. Ten Yetman spent the last year creating work that looks back through history, gathering obsessive details — from the lives and careers of past movie-star icons like Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed to Shakespearean plays such as Hamlet to the infamous witch hunts and persecutions of the Middle Ages. As the artist explains: "I have taken fragments from many tales and transported them through space to distant planets in another dimension."

Yetman is interested in examining how the passage of time changes the perception of major events, fictional characters and public figures. Stories, mythology and their acceptance develop and change in the public psyche. This is explored in her work by splicing facts and research with fiction from her imagination. By placing characters in an unknown place and time in outer space, Ten Yetman propels the general public into a visual place that represents all forms and alterations of the story at hand. "My painted language is surreal and childlike, brimming with neon-soaked treats for the eye and, as ever, decorated with macabre daydreams," she explains.

The show debuts on December 3, with an Opening Reception from 5 to 8 p.m.
