Déjà Vu is a group exhibition that explores the idea of multiple realities and worlds built by artists that bring the viewer into the mind of the artist. Inspired by escapism, the works in Déjà Vu include mythical figures, imagined landscapes, and new paradigms that feel familiar to each artist. The title of the exhibit references the common French phrase for the phenomenon of feeling as though one has lived through the present situation before. It is an illusion of memory whereby—despite a strong sense of recollection—the time, place, and context of the “previous” experience are uncertain or impossible.
Alanis Forde, A Tapestry: The Deity and Gatekeeper, 2024. Oil and glitter on canvas. 30 x 65 in.
