Statement:

Exhibiting Falapishi’s shrewdly deskilled panels alongside photorealistic paintings and bold ceramic sculptures, “Edge of the World” demonstrates the remarkable range inherent to the artist’s practice as he examines the widely varying possibilities for visual representation.

Falapishi’s works cannibalize a vast quantity of reference material—from the Surrealists to Spaghetti Western films—to create a carefully selected composite of signs and signifiers.

Deconstructing the vulnerabilities within both the act of viewing and of being viewed, “Edge of the World” is insightfully humorous, art historically allusive, and stylistically multifaceted.
