Malaika Zbesheski Charbonneau

Malaika Zbesheski Charbonneau, BFA uses paint and canvas as documentation of the ephemeral concept of Time and Space. Whether she paints her memories of cities in which she has lived or visited, or of conversations she’s been a part of or eavesdropped upon, the emphasizing of disassociated Space and overlapping Time make tangible the intangible. Repeatedly recalled, the memories and conversations become embellished, and the repetitive layers of paint become the elaborate fabric of Time and Space. The relationship between the canvas and the viewer develops into the viewer’s personal memories in an ever evolving dialogue, allowing them to time-travel between colliding realities and melding brush strokes on canvas.
