This exhibition presents the artist's conception of the physical and astral realms, drawing on his encounters with sleep paralysis in pursuit of astral projection. In this work, abstracted figures alternate between ghostly gestures and rudely physical depictions of dismemberment. 

Justin Hunter Allen works in painting and sculpture. He received his BFA from The Cooper Union in 2010 and now lives in coastal Virginia, co-curating The Airplant Project with his wife Lucy Kirkman Allen.
