Calendar Pick: Maximos Salzman Closing Reception

“Domicile Imperium” is a series of nine prints and drawings that imagine a world where a belief in paradox influences the art, culture and identity of an empire. Artist Maximos Salzman explores the way a fictional empire’s identity and beliefs would manifest visually in its art while also referencing the real imagery of empires like the Byzantine, Roman and Japanese. Salzman is deeply influenced by his personal connection to the Byzantine Empire through the Orthodox Church, and combines his interest in the aesthetics of an empire and his fascination with the philosophy of paradox throughout much of his creative practice. Visitors at the closing reception will be able to meet Salzman and see his works before the exhibit closes on Feb. 2.

WHO: Maximos Salzman Closing Reception
WHEN: Friday, Jan. 31, 6 p.m.
WHERE: Creature Comforts Brewing Co.
HOW MUCH: FREE!
