Description

With its somber colors and thick oil paint style, "(A)sleep in my bed" has a dreamlike quality to it. But it is not apparent who is sleeping. One interpretation--as there are only three living creatures in the scene (a hawk, a fish, and a boat)--is that it is the fish that is sleeping while being hunted by the hawk and the fishermen aboard the boat.

The work seems to be an interpretation of the proverb, "What you don't know, can't hurt you." To be unaware of a problem at least has the merit that you can't make yourself unhappy by worrying about it. How much of our happiness depends on this type of waking sleep?

Concept

Graphic arts stands in the middle of photography, painting, and language. It borrows from all three, but what gifts does it give back? About cinema, Fellini suggested that if you are moved by a particular film, you don't need an explanation. And if you are not spellbound, no explanation can suffice.

Skyler MacKay approach to his work is mysterious in the same way. He draws from different painting traditions and uses his own photographs and other digital images to create an aesthetic experience with humor, wonder, and social commentary. The artist often creates digital paintings in the magic realism tradition to catch and sustain the viewer's attention. He intends each work to be crafted carefully and, hopefully, resonate on a semantic level. Moving pixels around the screen, there is a lot to enjoy and ponder!

A representative work is "Bellflower, Love Awaited," which is a graphic art composition with fine paint stroke detailing. The composition size is A3.

Bellflowers are common all over the Northern Hemisphere. Accordingly, the flowers can be found in Japan, where the artist lives, but the flower is also widespread in Europe and North America.

The flower usually has a symbolic association with gratitude, constancy, support, or romance. As such, Skyler uses the image as a motif to pay tribute to all those who hold on to their love, even when the loved one is far away in place or time.
