Surrealist Painter, Avery
Palmer, shows at
September Exhibition in
Davis, CA
The Avery Palmer Exhibition will be held September 1st
through October 3rd, 2021 at the John Natsoulas Gallery in
Davis, CA.
Come by to enjoy the strange
and whimsical works of the
surrealist oil painter, Avery
Palmer.
Each of Palmer's detailed, meticulous paintings offer a window
into his complicated vision of an occult world.
From his earliest work Palmer has
manipulated the human form with both skill
and metaphoric stylization; half-animal
hybrids, nudity, and objectification have
featured regularly in his sculptures and
paintings.
Always unusual and sometimes shocking, Palmer's use
of the body is nothing if not eye-catching.
Palmer's long fascination with
Surrealist art-especially with the
work of Salvador Dali-also
became an important factor in his
painting.
"I think I have always had an active imagination," Palmer
explains, "And that's why I was drawn to Surrealist art.
I'm fascinated by how a Dali painting can be like a
window into a totally other world where the imagination
can play." Other notable early Surrealists, including Max
Ernst, Rene Magritte and Remedios Varo, have
influenced Palmer's work, as have Pop Surrealists such
as Mark Ryden, Laurie Lipton and H
Palmer enjoys putting his characters into circus-like costumes, noting that it "Helps to get
across the idea there is an interesting discrepancy between people's outer facades, how they
present themselves to others and their inner thoughts, feelings and desires." The artist's
awareness of human disc
Avery Palmer's paintings are
full of observations about the
human situation, but they never
preach.
Because of their roots in dreams and intuitions, and because of
their innate sense of humor, Palmer's works stop short of
moralizing.
Entertaining, mesmerizing, and just weird
enough to be memorable, the paintings of
Avery Palmer present a circus of the
imagination: a stream of fascinating acts
that continues to roll right out of the artist's
Mind.
