The works focus on moments of pause-figures standing, waiting, or gathering themselves before a possible shift. Action is withheld in favor of restraint and internal tension, with emphasis placed on the surrounding empty space: a space that holds experience and lived time, where a noise-filled quiet resolve exists. Figures are often isolated against textured, pared-down surfaces, heightening their presence and underscoring the stillness at the core of the work. This exhibition marks Otvos’ fourth presentation at CSI Project Space and Gallery.
Working across fine art, theater, and film, Otvos is also an Emmy-nominated makeup artist for the television series The Bear and serves as the resident makeup artist at Trap Door Theatre.
