Garboushian Gallery presents an exhibition of new works by Max Presneill. This marks Presneill’s second solo exhibition with the gallery.

If we consider that our globalized world is best characterized by the continued acceleration of time, of things passing in and out of existence too fast, and of a certain feeling of saturated subjectivity, then Presneill’s pictures appear to be a crucial effort to deal with the problem of (dis)orientation.
