Saving the dinosaurs Print

Graeme Welch is an artist who creates works that are intense and and luminous scenarios that attract and entice the viewer into complex and allegorical portrayals of the human condition. Vibrating with an intense energy, familiar places and events are subtly twisted into disturbing images that probe deeply into an illusory world in which meanings fragment and coalesce, intensify and fade in a kaleidoscopic vision of mystery and fascination. Familiar faces and events, locations and objects, merge into a fantasy that may equally draws inspiration from the movies, poetry or myths. Humour, nostalgia and touches of eroticism are manipulated to entice the viewer into a disturbing contemplation of their own memories and desires.
