The
Art of Rusel Parish
Rusel Parish is a Brooklyn-based artist who will be having his first solo exhibition at Figureworks this fall (September 2005).
The following paintings are from his Obscurant Series. These paintings create a brief story that suggests a much larger story. The subject matter relates to simple moments of leisure that are often forgotten, such as a visit to a museum, shopping, a carriage ride, or a night out dancing. Rusel notes that humans have a much greater capacity to recall the difficult times of their lives and it is the leisurely moments that often become obscured with time. These paintings capture in many ways our lost moments of pleasure.
