An arresting and visually rich monograph of the work of contemporary artist Sanya Kantarovsky. Forlorn and spiritually bankrupt, tender or abject the subjects in the figurative paintings of Sanya Kantarovsky (b. 1982) convey an uneasy, dark humor. They seem trapped in a precarious inner monologue, or under the spell of mundane lived experience. A Solid House, developed in conjunction with Kantarovsky s exhibition A Solid House at the Aspen Art Museum, includes more than 200 full-color image plates and spans the artist s oeuvre, focusing on his most recent output following his previous monograph, No Joke (2014). The publication also includes a conversation between Kantarovsky and art historian Isabelle Graw, as well as essays by the psychoanalyst and writer Jamieson Webster and art historian George Baker.
