Philip Gringer: If (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783777437644)

Science fiction meets painting in the avant-garde and surreal work of Philip Gringer.

With his signature painterly style, Philip Gringer invites the viewer to join him on a surreal journey influenced by the popular culture of recent decades, with a special focus on the monsters and aliens of science fiction.

Gringer's work could be best described as Virtual Surrealism. Figures in space suits, mannequins, and ghostly apparitions encounter one another in a fictional cosmos. Set against abstract backgrounds, Gringer's works tell stories that follow their own physical laws, and cartoon-like creatures with human features draw the viewer into the artist's fantasy world. Combining lurid contrasts with delicate, pastel-like shades, Gringer's technique is based on that of miniature painting. Complete with more than one hundred color illustrations, this volume is a retrospective that provides a comprehensive overview of Gringer's outstanding body of work.
