the work of paul wackers reminds me of funky collages using colorful textures to create organic forms and shapes. many are reminiscent of dali’s work, with his intriguing object juxtaposition and lucid dreamscapes. i am most attracted to his vivid color pallet, with pops and splashes of color here and there moving your eye around each piece. sort of reminds me of an 80’s t-shirt design. so funky fresh.
