Isabel Samaras
"Allegories: The Fall of Virtue"
CPOP Gallery, September 2002

In "Allegories", Isabel Samaras continues to explore the hidden lives of pop-culture characters, delving into their fantasies and vices. These new pieces make the leap from her signature tin TV trays to larger wooden panels, often in wackily baroque frames that harken back to the Old Master paintings she references in her work. It's Isabel's sublime blend of old-world craftsmanship, seldom seen in this tragically technological age, and saucy modern satire that makes her everybody's best girl.
