Eric Lacombe’s “The Weight Of Silence” At Last Rites Gallery.

Eric Lacombe’s “The Weight of Silence” at Last Rites Gallery.

Currently on view at Last Rites Gallery in New York City, New York is the solo exhibition of new paintings by artist Eric Lacombe entitled “The Weight of Silence.”

A master of the absolutely nightmarish, Lacombe has dedicated “The Weight of Silence” to the moments right before death and the anticipation of what may come.  As Lacombe says, “imagine the very moment before death when life slips away and something new begins: this moment is truly precious, because everything is silent. I want to evoke that stillness, that loneliness, that sensation of fear, melancholy and happiness.”

“The Weight of Silence” is on display until April 15th, 2016.
