Surrealism in Leeds


Glen Baxter
Immured in Hessian
Flowers Gallery

At the Flowers Gallery I was taken off guard a little when I noticed these sort of "Cowboy" drawings. The fashionable address and the contrast to the other exhibit in the Gallery with Freya Payne (Painfully good). It felt good to just laugh a little and also connect with other viewers who began to laugh with me. 

I must admit that I at first looked at them and said to myself...oh, no how dull! 
Humor is a rare element in Art, and Glen Baxter has the strength to bring it forth through his surrealism. Baxter is well known for his work in Vanity Fair, Vogue, Le Monde, The Independent on Sunday and The New Yorker.






Have a fabulous weekend!

With Love 
Kristin
