Using iconographic and pop culture vernacular, Klibansky's paintings reference the bleak and melancholic through a seemingly utopian lens. Playing with the implication of what is seen versus what an image implies, Klibansky’s hyper-realized paintings and sculptures address phenomenology (the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view) and explores realms where both utopian and dystopian truths can co-exist.
