Meliksetian | Briggs presents Closer to Illusion, a group exhibition organized by Los Angeles writer and curator Luana Hildebrandt, featuring works by Bas Jan Ader, Yifan Jiang, Christiane Lyons, Ben Wolf Noam, Joe Reihsen, Aura Rosenberg, Adam Saks, and Areum Yang.

The exhibition brings together painting, sculpture and works on paper from a diverse group of artists that explore the universal nature of human experience and contemplate on the nuanced interplay between illusion and reality.

The works in the exhibition serve as portals into the human psyche, revealing our innate proclivity to construct narratives in response to life's labyrinthine complexities. Whether seeking solace amidst nature's bountiful embrace, or finding refuge within the architectural sanctuaries of our own creation, the emotional landscapes depicted in these pieces bear witness to our capacity to transmute the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The exhibition Closer to Illusion serves as a catalyst for contemplation, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound role of fantasy in our daily lives—a beacon of resilience amidst the tempestuous seas of reality. Through the discerning eyes of the artists included in the show, the delicate dance between the natural and the fabricated unfolds, mirroring our collective odyssey and offering comfort in the profound reflections and poignant questions posed by art's timeless allure.
