Willfully engaging the historical canon of painting and literature, Sanya Kantarovsky distorts tropes and archetypes with elements gleaned from more populist forms of visual culture such as cartoons, illustration, film, and advertising. Kantarovsky's paintings are reassembled through fits and starts, with layered abrasions and dispersions of material, resulting in surfaces that engender a productive delay in looking and seeing.
