After Dark: Madison Skriver

Enari Gallery is happy to present After Dark, a solo exhibition by Madison Skriver. Her new series explores the tension between nostalgia and reality, drawing inspiration from mid-century American culture and cinematic storytelling. With influences like David Lynch, the artist delves into the contrast between the idealized American dream and the unsettling truths beneath its polished exterior. Her paintings, made with bold colors, surreal light, and layered symbolism, create a dreamlike atmosphere that reflects a haunting sense of the past.

Influenced by film and television, Skriver crafts scenes that feel like fragments of a forgotten dream—suspended between memory and myth. The past, viewed through the sheen of time, becomes both untouchable and enigmatic, its ghosts lingering beneath the surface. Echoing Lynch’s tension between illusion and reality, her paintings serve as portals to an alternate world, where nostalgia shimmers with an eerie undercurrent.
