infraREAL - The Art of Imaginative Realism
Imaginative realism is the cutting edge of contemporary realism, combining classical technique with postmodern narrative subjects. Focusing on the unreal, the unseen, and the impossible, this genre offers visions of humanity鈥檚 mythic past, its unexplored future and, in some cases, its terrifying present. Just as science fiction serves for many as the archetype of postmodern literature with its fascination with the 鈥渙ther鈥� and the unknown, imaginative realism brings this same narrative to the figurative arts.
infra:REAL is a group exhibition in the most classical sense, presenting the width and breadth of imaginative realism under a single banner. The exhibition features the work of thirty-seven artists, all of whom share a fascination with the narrative of 鈥淲hat if?鈥� and have a strong connection to the mythic taproot that burrows deep into our collective subconscious. Their technical approaches vary, from academic to avant-garde, but all are among the finest realist artists in the world, turning your vision 鈥渋nfra-real鈥� and giving a glimpse above, below, and beyond the reality that both comforts and restricts us all. 鈥擯atrick Wilshire, Curator
