Colette Calascione has a way with wood. Oil on wood, that is.
Perhaps the medium accounts for the glow and richness of her colors, but the subject matter is the product of a magnificently disturbed imagination. Calascione’s paintings combine surrealist imagery with classical themes and 19th century illustration for a clever mix of humor and decadence, pitting raw animalism against civilized poise. Be warned, though. Some of these pictures are Not entirely Suitable for Work.

Oil on wood seems like a very difficult medium. What do you mean not safe for work? Hell, it’s only a three way lesbian carpet munch scene! Where do you work? A seminary? ;)

It’s a convent actually. But, don’t tell anybody- I don’t want to lose my street cred.

Very twisted, very grotesque, very amusing but in that grotesque kind of way. The irrational in art. So, yes, very, very interesting paintings.
