While I adore abstract expressionist work full of large, sweeping strokes, I do occasionally want to gaze upon work that you really need to consume. Work so full of rich layers and details that makes you want to study it, taking in every symbol and nuance. So of course, when Irish artist Gavin Lavelle emailed me his work, it felt so rich, so Bosch-like, I couldn’t wait to share it. Lavelle is featured in my Artist Watch over on Escape Into Life today, so head on over there and gaze awhile. You’ll be mesmerized!
