Theo Baransky

Born in Ithaca, NY, in 2003, Theo Baransky is a painter based in Milford, New Jersey. His practice largely orbits around an fervent interest in film production and distribution, and the work draws from an extensive collection of researched images and his own fastidious memory. His paintings are small-scale (apparently semi-devotional) works in which a floating sign is held before us in air. Often symmetrical or nearly so, they call to mind ritual objects or the symbols that bring about magic (as in the magical light of a movie). Baransky’s work has been shown at Beauty Gallery and FiNNBAR in Frenchtown, NJ.
