Description
On the heels of his ribbon-cutting for an Emily the Strange store in Athens Greece, Emily creator Rob Reger returns full-force to the fine art forum with Change of Strange at Varnish Fine Art. “The adventure in the exploration and ‘what will happen next’ excites me in the process of ‘making’ art,” says Reger. This process led inevitably to a solo show of intricately woven, colorful forms of paint on dynamically conceived canvases, leaping beyond the world of Emily.In the Change of Strange series of paintings, Rob Reger tips his hat to such influences as Escher’s play with interlocking characters, Rube Goldberg’s connections between items and the emerging story, Dali’s surreal forms, and artwork from the psychedelic ‘60’s. Reger paints with a touch of Maurice Sendak, creating new beasts and monsters with a with a whimsical tap-on-the-shoulder of the frightening.
