A momentary rise of reason constitutes a deliberated exercise in sanity and the absurd in the realm of the surreal. By means of basic, sparse compositions and frugal coloring, the artworks depict every-day stereotypes in which the strange detail contaminates the apparent reality with the absurd. The logic commands a reading from right to left, while the suggested substance of the story is no longer the foundation of the whole, but merely a guilty last brush- stroke, the author’s unconditioned reflex.

Time is suspended, the characters are ageless, the backdrop minimal. Light itself hesitates between flooding the overexposed frame or whimsically set itself upon the shapes. The imperfectly square frames gather the characters into the center of a setting described more out of weakness for the real than for stylistic reasons. The seminude bodies become briefly inflamed under the flashlights. The puzzle is ready, les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus!

I love how this painting shows both the skill of the artist, but is not a typical pointless photographic painting. He is not concerned with how accurate the figures are and uses the pallet knife to embrace the medium of paint and manages to paint something other than abstract. Where as these days i find that if its not abstract you are criticized for merely creating a replica of reality. I do not excel in abstract work, It simply does not suit me or my style of painting. I love concepts and the recognition in paintings, I feel that my abstract work would not make sense to people and they would not be able to even form their own interpretation of my work based on what I painted. I like people to be able to connect emotionally and intellectually, for them to delve deeper into themselves as a result of viewing my work. Id like my work to be capable of pulling something hidden deep inside someone out into the open, which i believe a lot of abstract art cannot do, as i feel that there is a certain clinical element attached.

The artist experienced sexual harassment or an intrusion into her personal space that happened on April 24, 2010 in a street near their house. This exhibition serves as a therapy and strength to move on and to throw off the shackles of her experience. It is an artistic practice that finds meaning and a journey from darkness, pain and trauma towards light, healing and empowerment.

The concept of the work is to present analogically the images of women, her escape from a traumatic experience. The act of the woman in the painting are falling and flying which relates to redemption or release from the negative past. An act of releasing or escape from something bad in your heart or mind, feeling of freedom or an instance of escapes from the danger of the situation.
