Frank Galuszka has exhibited nationally
and internationally with 30 one-person shows
and more than 100 group exhibitions since
1965. Long associated with a group of narrative
figure painters in Philadelphia, he moved
to California in 1995. Galuszka currently
teaches and serves as chair of the Art Department
at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
La Vista Totale: A Partial View
is a series of paintings that he began in
1981. These paintings depict abruptly changing
reality models organized around a slowly
unfolding narrative that involves a contract
between two women. This contract becomes
a nexus of mythic, psychological, and autobiographical
concerns. Influenced by Dali's "Paranoiac
Critical Method" and by Edvard Munch's
approach to psychological autobiography,
this body of work suggests the integration
of the personal and transpersonal as shifting
contexts and addresses issues of paradox,
subjectivity, and recursion.
