Gallery 110 presents artist Michael Abraham's exhibition, Snapshots of the Mind, a series of oil paintings and sculpture highlighting a consciousness of human nature, the richness of life and the passage of time.

Snapshots of the Mind features a collection of newer artworks as well as some distinctive Abraham classics. Since 1992, Abraham’s oil paintings have garnered him a dedicated following. His unique perspective and ability to evoke emotion through his work have been recognized by critics and collectors alike. Abraham’s imagery spans the gamut between profound social commentary to the appreciation of what is most beautiful and meaningful. In Snapshots of the Mind, open-hearted descriptions accompany each work and welcome guests into Abraham’s reflective journey, such as with his piece, Waterworks / Something Else Shines Through (With Lame Duck), a liquidy ‘Kabuki-meets cartoon’ style of painting from 2008 featuring characters standing in a pool of tears. Additionally, Abraham’s 2023 post-Schrekian piece titled Leap of Faith was initially inspired by the idea of people turning to bucket lists as a way of coming to terms with their mortality, depicting an enthusiastic squirrel-suited jumper about to embark on a flight high above a most finely detailed vista.

“I’ve heard that the meaning of life is to find meaning in life,” says Abraham. “And I like art that encourages reflection… Art reflects life: serious, funny, absurd, joyous, paradoxical, sensuous, communal, divisive… all things at once, these are snapshots of the mind in time.”

Snapshots of the Mind will be on display at Gallery 110 from March 7 – 30, 2024.

Gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday from 12pm – 5pm and by appointment.
