Paintings from the Comfort Zone
Mar. 5th, 2008 10:02 pmAlexandre Pollazzon, near to Goodge Street tube, just off Tottenham Court Road, is currently showing Andreas Dobler's Paintings from the Comfort Zone. The paintings are dreamy and have a sci-fi feel to them, although some are a little bit creepy, but for a few minutes before lectures started, I gazed at the 8 paintings of islands, bridges, tiny buildings and strange structures and imagined I was amongst them.
From the press release: "'Paintings from the Comfort Zone' presents surrealist settings that are hallucinatory utopian/dystopian visions and perhaps, cryptic prophecies about urbanism, originating in the painter's lust to occupy new territory. By indulging in these spaces and grounds, Dobler reflects on his own desire for comfort and security, and painting as an ideal way to reconcile reality and dream."
