The Leslie Wolfe Gallery present’s Chantal Danyluk’s current series “Against Dreamland” which explores the folly of the American dream through surreal oil paintings. This series will be on display September 1st – October 4th with a special opening reception on September 10th from 2-4pm.
Gallery hours are:

Danyluk’s oversized figures crafted from plywood are detached from their surroundings, compelled to merge with our own realm. Each one represents a harsh social issue facing our generation and reveals the shattered aspirations, unattainable ideals, and elusive promises that leave the younger generation disillusioned. These humanoid representations undergo frying, combustion, and drowning, symbolizing the immense pressure imposed by societal burdens like the cost of living, climate change, rental prices, and the objectification of women. Mirroring our own realm, these works bring a touch of whimsy and humor to otherwise serious themes inviting viewers to contemplate how these issues might resonate with them.
