This Saturday night (August 4th), Thinkspace in Los Angeles will be opening a new show from Alex Garant entitled Voyage of The Insomniac. The new collection of oil paintings from the Canadian artist were inspired by a recent bout of insomnia and features 13 new pieces representing each hour between midnight and noon, with an extra 13th piece for the 13th hour (the eternity of a sleepless moment). Known for her flickering superimposed portraits, Garant has a perfect new theme to match her imagery, capturing the feeling of being fractured and the mental confusion felt when low on sleep.
