ABOUT THE WORK

Lynyrd’s Visual Insurrection — by stretching the limits of turning furniture into art, Lynyrd Paras’ Eccentric sculpture can brilliantly bring out the best or worst in the viewer. The chair is as abstract and conceptual as how high art defines it. Only looking at this supposed home fixture with humor and adding critical analysis, you start understanding the metaphors of this ironic artist whose fame is based on his paintings of faces with shocked eyes. Envelope pushing Paras is an artist who is consistently testing the boundaries of acceptance in his fundamentally conservative society.
