Fred Tomaselli's huge explosions of colour and detail will boggle your mind, guaranteed
Caifornian born, Brooklyn-based artist Fred Tomaselli’s images are an utter explosion of detail; leaves, pills, images of eyes and mouths, and acrylic-painted forms drape, interlace, and overlap to reproduce incredible visuals that evoke fairy-tale illustration and freewheeling psychadelica alike. A graduate in painting and drawing, Tomaselli executes much of his massive work on wooden panels, bestowing the works with a bygone or otherworldly air. The forest scenes, birds, and landscapes are mesmerising enough, but keep zooming – and the image fragments into yet more discovery–- building-blocks of butterflies, herbs, photography. Woah.
