Fantastic brings together the work of a dozen artists from the United States, Canada, England, Iceland, and Argentina who delve into the implausible, incredible, and improbable. It is as though the artists provide the viewer with the characters and the setting, but require that the viewer supply the narrative. Many works echo earlier paintings. Argentinean artist Rez borrows from Da Vinci and Velázquez. David Becker of Detroit seems steeped in Bosch and Bruegel. Grand Forks’ Brian Paulsen keeps company with Edward Hopper and Franz Kline. For example, the beautiful woman holding an ermine in Da Vinci’s 1490 painting now holds a pig’s head in Rez’s 2009 version. Gay, colorful, and downright weird, the exhibition poses as a collection of old masterpieces and rollicking excursion into fun.
Fantastic is funded in part by Ameriprise Financial.
