Table bombs, ice cream and balls of lights in nebulous doom and gloom: Artist Gil Pellaton places his grotesquely twisted figures in imaginary scenes that hover between scenery-like reality and bizarre exaggeration.

Table bombs, ice cream and balls of lights in nebulous doom and gloom: Artist Gil Pellaton places his grotesquely twisted figures in imaginary scenes that hover between scenery-like reality and bizarre exaggeration. The large-scale oil paintings are dynamic and as specific as dreamlike worlds can be. On Vient Quand Meme! is his inaugural publication, combining his most recent works in a small but mighty volume.

Pellaton (1982) lives and works in Bienne, Switzerland. His work was honored with the Anderfuhren Recognition Price in 2009 and the Swiss Art Awards 2010 - Kiefer Hablitzel Price. He exhibited at the Journal Gallery in New York and the Grand Palais in Bern.
