(HACKENSACK, NJ) -- Riverside Gallery presents the works of Diana Soorikian, who has been painting figures in an abstracted manner since the 1970s. Her style and language are reminiscent of the British painter Francis Bacon, and some of her works could also be mistaken for Alice Neel's, in terms of the color palette and the abstract application of colors and brush strokes. Chalky white often predominates her figures, giving them clown-like auras of a cynical circus or a phantasmagoria. The forms of the figure or the face float in or occupy an abstract space of color, which are usually deeply saturated and forces the viewer's eye to shift focus to the figures which usually are made of white or neutral colors. The overall result is a fantastical feeling that the figures, often of babies and children, are wearing a mask-like layer of makeup and acting as if in a circus or a movie set. On one hand, Soorikian appears to comment on the dark nature of humanity and the calculative ways that the children's psychology develops, leading to the growth of selfish adults (who ruin the climate and exploit the Earth's resources). On the other hand, the imagery of children suffering in anguish and poverty in the third world and among the refugees could be extracted from her paintings as well.
