Surrealism isn’t a thing of the future — it has always been present in the past. That’s why Paco Pomet‘s paintings are so glorious. Combining classic imagery from early photographic works with the otherworldly sensibilities of the early-20th-century Surrealist movement, Pomet’s work plays with the viewer’s brain as much as it does the eye. It’s a blend of historical context and visual trickery, with hilarious results. View a collection of the artist’s paintings after the jump.
The Spanish artist Paco Pomet studied in the Fine Arts Department of the University of Granada, the Academia de España in Rome and the School of Visual Arts in New York. His paintings features a selection of works that blends the amazing with the grotesque. “Pomet uses thick brushstrokes and an Expressionist technique in which color sheds its ornamental function to take on a symbolic meaning in contrived narrative scenes that simultaneously imitate and falsify reality. The Andalusian artist places the “realest” elements in the center of his canvases and relegates the implausible ones to a secondary plane, but this in no way detracts from their importance; indeed, in every case they invariably determine the message of his paintings.” Visit his website for the full and truly impressive portfolio: www.pacopomet.es
