I came across Tim Berresheim and two years ago and I admit upon first seeing his work I felt as if my eyes were going to projectile vomit. But then I realized that such a reaction is a good thing! You don't always get your moneys worth out of modern art. The artist uses computer graphics in order to "surprise himself" as he puts it. This results in the kind of mind numbing surrealism the world hasn't really replicated since the 50's. I've grown to love his art because of its decidely user-unfriendly appearance. Its tempting to say that such ambiguity leaves the images open to interpretation but I think their strength lies in how illegible they are. What can one say when faced which such visually confounding art?
