In 'Suspended Daydreams,' artist Alic Brock showcases a series of evocative acrylic paintings at Richard Heller Gallery that blend elements of fantasy and reality. Inspired by significant personal transitions, such as the death of his mother and the birth of his son, Brock delves into the power of imagination as a refuge during unsettling times. His unique airbrush technique manipulates familiar imagery into dreamlike compositions, emphasizing emotional depth while inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of memory, storytelling, and the dangers of excessive detachment from reality.
In moments of personal and societal instability, Brock explores the refuge of the imagination-its ability to soothe, distort, and sometimes disorient.
These works suggest that while daydreams offer necessary escape, they also carry a warning: if we linger too long in unreality, we may become unmoored from the strangeness of the world around us.
