False Prophet is the first solo exhibition in America of Croatian painter Grgur Akrap following his stateside debut at Independent this spring. His colorful paintings—formed through layers of oil and wax—seduce and provoke spectators by seamlessly merging imagery that is both familiar and mythical. Akrap confronts the inherent limitations of painting in an era dominated by algorithmic narratives and visual manipulation—begging the question if Akrap himself is a "false prophet” where is he leading us?
