A Touch of Surrealism

 

Here are two more paintings that caught my eye at the Biltmore Art Walk I mentioned yesterday.  Both of these paintings are by Emma Florance and to my eye, they have a touch surrealism about them.  

This first one is called Phoenix Lights I. You can see the lights of the city extending behind that saguaro cactus.  But wait, there appears to be someone living inside the cactus skin.  That would not be an easy trick.  














The second painting is called Desert Dracula and it shows a young lady hiding behind the tall bloom stalk of a century plant.  

I really enjoyed this little art exhibit.  I'll make a point of going again when it returns in February.

    The city from someplace like South Mountain is a wonder to see.

    I like the first one with the city light reaching out into the night, with the person maybe trying to find solace in the peace of the desert.

    Interesting blending of the plants and the humans. These are immediately identifiable as the work of the same person, aren't they?!

    Seems to me the artist has messaged hidden within the paintings. I especially like the first, a deep piece indeed.
