Can You Mail A 3x5 Card?

SURREALISM SURGICAL

Cris Brodahl part of disparate images, taken from different sources, assembles and condenses into precariously introspective paintings, made with natural photorealism. His paintings are like taken apart and reassembled, its seductive portraits and monstrous: the single eye that sees everything, accessories, feathers, fur, bodies, skin folds and disembodied hands are assembled in surgically disconnected compositions according to the rules of attraction and repulsion. Through the amalgamation of forms an image of beauty gets broken resulting in psychological distress in sepia tones and shades of gray that generate confusion between two and three-dimensional space. The purpose of his work is to examine the construction of illusion and artifice centered around the female form using the deconstruction of the image as a tool for an invention may therefore be plausible.
