Fred Tomaselli
In viewing Fred Tomasellis's works the
space in your mind will expand into a new and “Dislocated Reality”.
Like looking into a vortex, one work has an unrelenting pull,
physically drawing you ever closer to the work until, your are
standing with your nose an inch from the painting. The detail of his
works is seductive and a new exciting experience.
Rarely do I write about the exhibitions
at our Oceanside Museum of Art, for writers far better than I do the
reviews for our local publications. However, this time, I because of
my great enchantment of his works, I happily dare to give this humble
blog a heads up for our Local and International followers the chance
to experience his work. The two YouTube videos will give a good
overview of his works and more, to have a chance to hear and see his
process in constructing art forms which will be new to most of you.
I have worked in resin, and know how
deadly this medium can be. Using respirators is mandatory or as I did
sometimes work underwater to take the deadly dust away. Never though,
did I consider using a blowtorch to finish my sculptures. The heat
raises the tiny bubbles in the resin so they will surface and
dissipate with the finishing. So, I can relate in some small way to
his process with the resin. The small pieces of illustrations of
birds and leaves of the actual visual aspects are beyond my
head-space to digest. The minute pieces of materials used are truly
Mind-blowing.
