Ever had a bad trip? You know the sort, you can't stop laughing and before you know it the world is melting around your knees? You know, like this >>>
Charlie Immer is blessed/cursed (depending on which side of the fence your brain lies) with a vision of the world that few of us see without the aid of highly powerful psychoactive substances. Some have described his work as 'candy', there are a lot of good things I can say about this guy's paintings and prints, but edibility ain't one of them. He totally nails blood and generally human fluids, organs, subcutaneous fat and just about everything I'd rather avoid seeing. He beautifies the gross, something akin to a poptastic Dali with a penchant for the bitter-sweet in life.
Immer's art is like a big fat juicy peach with a maggot inside, and its head is in your mouth. Beautifully disgusting, or should that be vice-versa? Check out his cool blog or see more of his prints and paintings.
