David Stoupakis: Ashes to Sorrow

Some beautiful new work by David Stoupakis recently exhibited in his solo show Ashes to Sorrow at the Last Rites Gallery. Horrific and alluring, these lushly colored paintings have a fairy tale-like quality, as female figures pose in symbolic scenes beneath stormy, foreboding skies.
