VANCOUVER, BC – Z Gallery Arts presents Finland-born artist Henni Alftan’s first North American solo exhibition, Shadows in the Mirror, on display from April 6 – May 8, 2017. This exclusive collection of 15 original, oil-on-canvas works explores the mimetic relation of paint as material and the image. Through striking, figurative pictures composed with careful framing, ellipsis, light and shading, Alftan plays with the observer’s gaze, inviting the viewer to take a deeper look at everyday objects and scenes that are not what they seem.Henni Alftan’s catalogue for Shadows in the Mirror is available at zgalleryarts.com
