sam gibbons

pretty impressive.  sam gibbons toes the line between illustration and art, if a line still exists between them.  his pieces are complex in their amount of information, but at first sight strike one with their simplicity of composition and palette.  the uniformity of each piece balances the abundance of information held in them.  and his installations bring to life his somewhat unsettling worlds in a way that seems as if he was in fact painting from life.
