Go Figure Figurative Social Surrealist Paintings HC

(W) Guy Colwell (A) Guy Colwell (CA) Guy Colwell
Go Figure collects 44 'social surrealist' figurative paintings, spanning 1987-2023. All are in eye-popping color: many depict a crowd in observational tableaux, each figure a character by virtue of dress, body language, and interactions with each other, animals, and their setting. Other paintings reflect Colwell's wide travels, and still others are surreal - such as 'Junior and the Legs' (2023), which shows a young man strumming a guitar on stage, accompanied by disembodied women's limbs. Each image has a narrative and a moral purpose-often, one figure bravely moves forward, despite a hostile crowd. In Guy Colwell's world, no individual could ever be an island, just another part of a rich ecosystem.Thematically, then, it is fitting that this book was made possible by a group of his collectors, who are sponsoring the show/Guy Colwell retrospective 'Imaginary Reality,' from which this book is created, in an independent space. Go Figure is in an 11' X 11' format, to best feature the high-quality reproductions of these numerous critically praised works., 0325FB478
