Contemporary artist has fun with the Impressionists Win Zibeon is playing games. He has made painting a game of depth perception that suspends you someplace between two planes of reality. The most intriguing works in Zibeon's exhibition at the Piermont Flywheel Gallery are his large-scale works that spring from Impressionist master images by Monet, Cezanne and Renoir that Zibeon completes with the addition of unexpected objects.
Smoke rises delicately, mimicking the bridge's curve, and slices the background image in two.
Zibeon's other landscapes are inspired by scenes from his travels, particularly in the English lake district . He molds the canvases into dramatic angles, reaching extreme points and bending the trees and greenery as if you're seeing them in the reflection of a fun-house mirror.
