The other day, I went down to the Brooklyn Museum and saw the special Fred Tomaselli retrospective that’s showing there right now. I’ve seen pictures of his work before, but wow, this was some of the most intense, itricate, worke I’ve ever seen. Most of the pieces are large mixed media works made from insanely detailed photo collage, inlayed pill tablets, paint, and covered in resin. From pictures and from a distance, it is impossible to take in the intricacies of the work, but seeing it in person was really amazing.
