Blake Flynn: "Strange Beauty"Habitat Gallery and StudioNovember 7 - December 31, 2008Opening Reception: Friday November 21 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm Blake Flynn - above: Madonna of the Birds; below: Big Head (from the press release:) Blake Flynn is a high realism painter with a surrealist message. Unlike Dali, Blake’s surrealism does not come from a deliberate distortion of real objects, but rather from the way he rearranges everyday life and its surroundings so that what appears calm and ordinary slowly becomes in the viewer’s mind a complex and profoundly disturbing message. The artwork itself is very precise and clearly defined. It is almost comforting until it is carefully scrutinized again and again to reveal a world on the constant verge of collapse that can still be saved if we become active participants in its restoration. His message, although disturbing, remains a message of hope. It is not too late to make our world whole again. He is a living witness and reporter of our time, with a great sense of humor about what we are now with an option to change. This is the fourth annual fall exhibit of Blake Flynn’s work at Habitat Gallery, and we are honoured to have Mr. Flynn take Habitat Gallery into its sixth year in the heart of Denver’s Artdistrict on Santa Fe. - Georgia Amar (Gallery Director) Habitat Gallery & Studio 828 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO 80204 303.534.9740 This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it http://www.habitatgallery.com
