The Fox Is Black » The Totally Insane, Candy Coated Paintings of Charlie Immer. It’s always a good day when I am blessed to find artwork that is as effed up as I am.
Charlie Immer seems to have channeled that exact sinister–yet fun! –mentality and ran to hell and back with it. Immer is a DC area painter who mashes together childlike imagery, playful monstrous creatures he has envisioned in his head or pulled from pop culture, with what they should be doing: acting like monstrous creatures! His oil paintings depict these happy, colorful creatures disemboweling each other, tearing each other’s rainbow tinted faces off, crying magenta and purple tears, drinking each other’s bright red blood, or even eating their own neon flesh. His work is absolutely ridiculous and laughable in what they portray: they are just soooooooo ridiculous that you can’t help but chuckle and smile at this truly fucked up imagery. I find his work incredibly fascinating and have him on the top of my “Artists to Watch” list.
