David Ort

Artist Statement: David Orts Painting & Drawings explore themes of childlike wonderment, empathy, and emotional reconciliation. Each of the paintings, through the use of the surrealist techniques of psychic automatism and decocollage, seek ambiguity of emotion, gender, and species. Figure, character, animal, and plant are the primary symbolic subjects. Each transfiguration is an entrance to a psycho-spiritual communication and an invitation into the subtlety of the object's gaze.
