“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Be torpedoed into the fantasy world where issues of the world and the self can be explored behind the murky veil of a fool’s paradise!
We would like to encourage you into our world where we have surrendered reality, momentarily; choose, to luxuriate in the minute’s beauty, to embrace madness, explode the boundaries that rigidly hug our reality, and perhaps regress to that part of our lives, where there are no consequences, no penalty for foolish exploration; we soar on the wings of our imagination and savor the winds of pleasure.
In our escapade, we visually palpate the blurred boundary between reverie and reality. Familiar objects are placed in unfamiliar settings, allowing the real and the imagined to mash in wondrous ways.
We, Drink in the multifarious colors of the world, in an induced state of dreamy drunkenness, construct fantastical stories in our heads, throw in bits of our souls, our lives, and simmer this visual stew with time, passion and love; resulting in that impossibly unique love child on canvass.
