Explore Pentimento: Layered Meanings Brought to Life, a solo exhibition by Santa Barbara artist Michael Vilkin on view April 2–May 3, 2026. Vilkin examines pentimento—the reappearance of earlier layers in a painting—as a metaphor for identity, memory, and human experience. Figurative paintings, abstracted portraits, geometric works, and recurring kiosk imagery reveal hidden narratives, shifting perspectives, and the accumulation of personal and cultural messages.
Join the 1st Thursday Opening Reception to meet the artist and experience these layered stories in person.
