An arresting and visually rich monograph of the work of contemporary artist Sanya Kantarovsky. Forlorn and spiritually bankrupt, tender or abject--the subjects in the figurative paintings of Sanya Kantarovsky (b. 1982) convey an uneasy, dark humor. They seem trapped in a precarious inner monologue, or under the spell of mundane lived experience.
Sanya Kantarovsky: Selected Works 2010-2024 is published with the support of Aspen Art Museum, following Kantarovsky's exhibition
A Solid House (2022). It includes more than 140 full-color image plates and spans the artist's oeuvre, focusing on his most recent output since his previous monograph
No Joke (2014).
The publication also includes a conversation between Kantarovsky and art historian Isabelle Graw, as well as essays by the psychoanalyst and writer Jamieson Webster and art historian George Baker.
