PARACOSM: A detailed imaginary world, especially one created by a child.

The images that make up Victor Grasso’s body of work come from the fantastical world he has created for himself in his imagination. He is not interested in complicated artist statements, rather, he is most interested in the ideas that swirl around in his head when he closes his eyes. The characters in his paintings are all part of a detailed, fantastic, imaginary world that are constantly evolving as he does. Victor approaches his compositions as if he is looking at the world through the lens of a child, first creating detailed studies of his visions in which he plots his story with swaths of color and pen and ink details. The works in this exhibition consist of studies, fully rendered watercolor paintings and the almost photo-realist, magical oil paintings he is best known for.

This exhibition opens with a reception on 4/12 from 6 - 8pm and remains on view until 5/27.
