Micki Pellerano's First Solo Exhibition in New York, Revelation Extends

The book launch of Micki Pellerano's "Revelation"(with a foreword by Scott Treleaven) takes place January 8th, 2012 at envoy enterprises, with Pernod donated by Mirrorball. Additionally, Pellerano's show will be extended from January 4th to January 8th, 2012.

Taking his inspiration from ancient pagan or biblical stories and characters, fused with his own imagination, Micki Pellerano creates new mythologies through classically rendered drawings.

In their timeless style, Pellerano's depictions of the grotesque and morbid, narrative and pictorial, invite the viewer to step out of their reality into another world. The result is fantastical, and descriptive of the dark recesses of the human psyche. In this way he aims to challenge our understanding of what is real or primitive, versus what is imagined or conditioned in our everyday lives. Rather than contemplating life's temporality though his art, he explores the limits of eternity, alternate universes, and fictional spaces - all of which speak to our innermost desires and fears.

In his first solo exhibition at the gallery, Pellerano confronts the comprehensive boundaries of metaphysical concepts such as eternity, existentialism, and religion. He entwines contemporary apocalyptic crises with scriptural and Neo-Platonic themes, commanding a re-examination of humanity's existential plight. The sacred, the damned, struggle, and despair are the conceptual roots of the artist's work as well as his literal subjects.
