Dexter Fernandez

The duality in the works of Fernandez is the second experience of his audience. The initial feelings of being overwhelmed by the weight and volume of and behind the work bifurcates repeatedly until one has a rich understanding of the piece and his artist resembling the roots of an old Acacia tree.

He explains that his style is composite of elements from low and highbrow art. His select features from both arenas create an indelible resemblance to the dual nature of the Zeitgeist. Organic, the work directly between his hands and the canvas are sometimes interpolated by digital art that by execution alone disposes of justification. Human stories rendered fictively by his choice of imagery—surreal, pop, and macabre— create “Comiczoo”, a word he coined himself, which he closely relates to his subconscious. A burlesque of the today’s world and the internal landscape of man and in which man is found, the works of the artist are clearly situated for his audience mitigating a far-out, vivid imagination. His dual approach to art makes possible a complete resonation inside the audience: a feeling of understanding and partaking versus isolation.
