HUMANS OF THE DEEP

Victor Grasso's works grab your mind, spirit, senses and childhood simultaneously and immediately. It's dark and it's whimsy. It's sensual and childlike. It's a jocular and hallowed family. It's based in reality, but vivid with alternate universes suffused with reverence for the body. There is juxtaposition of the beauty and noir that inhabit recesses of our minds. Objects, people, events, contexts that should not exist together nor imagined to our eyes are evident on the screen of Victor's mind duplicated in oils. Panoramas, wind blown skeletonized trees; seascapes, octopi and bald men. Kitchens filled with zoo creatures and creatures of the deep. [text by Dr. Jacob J. Steinberg, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dept. of Pathology]
