En terwijl Sim, spinnend, laat weten, het beste plekje bemachtigd te hebben, liggend op mijn schoot en de nacht zich rond de ramen van dit huis tezamen dromt, om dit te aanschouwen, vind ik zomaar ineens, terwijl ik over Google surf, op zoek naar inspiratiemateriaal, deze kunstenaar, Rob Gonsalves en zijn magisch realistische schilderijen.
The beautiful and mind-bending illusions
in Canadian artist Robert Gonsalves’ paintings
have a fun way of twisting your perception and
causing you to question what in his paintings, if anything, is real.
Most of his stunning paintings have an unclear boundary
between the multiple stories they tell, which forces the viewer
to jump back and forth between them – like an optical illusion
that changes every time you look at it.
Gonsalves’ interest in art began at an early age,
which is why he became comfortable with painting such complex misdirections.
He had experience with technique and perspective and architectural art by the age of 12.
After an introduction to artists Dalí and Tanguy, Gonsalves began his first surrealist paintings.
The "Magic Realism" approach of Magritte along with the precise perspective illusions of Escher
came to be influences in his future work.
Take a look!

Poeh E zie jij wat deze man kan
hij laat je ver dwalen in beelden
op een manier zoals talen
ook gesproken kunnen worden
is hij ver ver op papier
jij taalt daar niet na
maar wel wat hier gebeurt
