Sasha Okun: Corpus
The exhibition Corpus presents a selection of works from recent years centered on the human condition—on bodily desires, aging, and decline.
The figures populating Okon's paintings—primarily family members and acquaintances—are rendered with unflinching realism. Theatrically staged, they appear in tragicomic scenes and quasi-religious rituals. His close-ups of the body as "flesh," often exaggerated, trace the struggle of the corporeal body with its inevitable transience.
