This work was inspired by the JG Ballard novel by the same name. I wanted to create a haunting and wierd scene. One that was completely surreal and terrifying. The work is oil and sand on canvas.

My name is V.F. Wolf and I am a mixed media painter who currently maintains a studio in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I am employed as a night watchman at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum located in Providence, Rhode Island. I was an officer in the Army Reserve from 2000-2007 and have traveled extensively throughout the United States and lived in Egypt for a brief time.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I paint highly textured/ impasto mixed media abstracted grotesque mask-like faces and figures. My works are often a combination of both painting and sculpture. Through my art I wish to analyze the shadow/darkness present in every society. I feel in many ways my work addresses the absurd and random nature of life itself. I use my early adult life in the military to speak on this issue.
I may start out with a specific memory; but it is ultimately shaped through the process of moving paint and materials around the support. I will often throw, slash, squeegee, and splatter various types of paint directly onto the wood panel or canvas. As a result of this physicality in the making of the images, I feel that I am going into battle with it. I often want to beat the image into the very fiber of the canvas, burlap, or panel.
