Artist Allison Sommers creates mixed-media works that transcend both the figurative and abstract. The monochromatic subjects may appear to be a still life until closer inspection reveals suggestions of both animal and human parts merged together in floating movements of form.
Sommers is exhibiting her latest series, Bruxism, at Thinkspace Gallery in Culver City, CA through October 8th. The gallery said of the works: “Anatomically impressionistic, and at times barbaric, her renderings of bodies and humanoid animals appear in a state of troubling excess, rupturing through the flawed boundaries of their outsides. She presents us with a nightmarish vision of embodiment, reminding us of the body’s impermanence and mortal failure while revealing the uncomfortable beauty of the abhorrent.” [h/t thinkspacegallery.com]
