Darkness is pervasive in Deth P. Sun's latest gallery collection, "The Sand and The Stars." It looms, it threatens, and the small, brave figures throughout his pieces cling to whatever sources of light or meager weapons they can find to feel safe, to feel not alone. The style is spare, effective. The colors are often muted, so when they're bright, it drives the point even more sharply home. There is a sense of loss, of LOSTNESS, in his paintings. A sense of searching. of seeking, of maintaining hope through the worst kinds of adversity.
What I like about seeing art in person is how you can feel it change you, feel a new perspective opening up inside yourself. In a sense, I guess we're all searching, seeking, trying to make a connection so we don't feel so alone. Art is one way to achieve this goal, and I felt that little thrill of recognition take place inside of me at this show. So I guess that means I enjoyed it, and you should go check it out, because gosh! He does great work. You know?
At Giant Robot SF from now until October 10. If you can't make it, Deth P. Sun was kind enough to make a Flickr set and put it HERE.
