paintings on paintings by ROBERT FARMER
Edgy pop-surrealist Robert Farmer takes us on a loopy trip in this exciting new body of work ( including some older classics). Appropriating forgotten mass-produced framed prints including images taken from books, Farmer creates pseudo-social narratives of dreamy carnival-esque scenes with a turn-of-the-century feel. The oil paintings have the trademark bunnies, maniacal babies and other creatures all happily interacting as if during playtime at the insane asylum. While some of the areas appear subtly altered, others are boldly introduced.
Humour and spectacle prevail, and laughing will be encouraged!
Opening reception Friday Sept 12, 7-10pm.
See the recently completed mural across the street from Fountain!
Exhibit runs concurrently with the Queen West Art Crawl Sept 13-14 and continues to September 21.
