About

Upcoming exhibition at Eleven Fine Art
11 February - 13 March 2010

A new stream of ideas carries you away: it will hurtle you along its living cortex for a further minute; and this minute too, will be an eternity, for the normal relation between time and the individual has been completely upset by the multitude and insanity of sensation and ideas.

Artificial Paradises, Charles Baudelaire, 1858

This exhibition borrows its title from Charles Baudelaire's eponymous book opening up multiple windows into a fanciful world. Embracing an altered reality, these paintings function like psychedelic visions inviting the viewers into a dream-like world.
