Overview

Sleeping Lions, a solo exhibition of new works by Theodore Ereira-Guyer, focuses on an expansive body of work exploring innovative techniques and delving into themes surrounding memory and time.    
   
Theodore Ereira-Guyer’s process, largely etching on paper or plaster, involves a loss of information between the plate and the new surface, emulating the mechanism of memory. The medium is rooted in reproducibility, originally conceived as a tool to distribute information en masse. Instead, Ereira-Guyer creates unique works, whether one work printed per plate or a few, as each time, different aspects of the plate are accentuated, whereas others disappear, much like the fleeting and fading nature of time.
