Jasper-native Mark Brosmer work to appear a Krempp Gallery

The Krempp Gallery at the Jasper Arts Center is pleased to present former Jasper native, now living in Los Angeles, California artist, Mark Brosmer for the month of June.

Brosmer’s paintings depict fascinating dreamscapes: a world where the real and unreal fill the canvas equally. A magical world that exists outside of gravity, a world where time stands still, a world without sounds – offering us a respite from the external and internal clamor – as if sealed inside a drop of water.

Brosmer puts life under a microscope in his exhibit of contemporary magical-hyper-realism paintings “Eye Candy.” Exploring the metaphoric parameters of water drops, Brosmer creates hauntingly serene reflections of the world around us. Deeply personal motifs of the artist’s past and present are dissected and mused over in this riveting and impressive overview of Brosmer’s last decade of works.

The exhibit, “Eye Candy” offers a singular, microscopic view of the universe, which is broken apart and re-arranged – distorted, multiplied, dispersed, reflecting solitude and beauty like a melancholy cabinet of mirrors.  The seemingly mundane – raindrops on a windowpane are realized to achingly exquisite detail in classic oil on canvas/board, revealing the magnificence, the glory, the very essence of life.

Meet the artist and listen to a Gallery Talk at the FiRST THURSDAY Reception at the Krempp Gallery on June 2nd, 2016 from 5:00- 9:00 pm.  Enjoy live music from musical guest, Mike O’Bryan. Cash wine bar and refreshments will be served.  This is a free, family friendly evening out.
