The Art of Von

Upon which point does the artwork of Von separate into surrealism from it's obvious points of realism? And whois to say it truly even departs entirely from realism? The mysteriousqualities of Von's fine line work linger on a delicate line betweenthe two forms, seemingly in a constant state of limbo foreverperpetuating the idea of what is real and unreal. Or perhaps it'ssimply a lapse in our own judgement, a tiny millisecond where oursight has tricked us and Von's work is the photographic capturing ofthis quark. Not only are the pieces thoroughly thought provoking butthey are also a study in technique, one which blends the digital andanalytical world seamlessly. The illustrations speak for themselvesin a tone that is both immediate and fleeting. - Zach Tutor
