At once cheeky and uncanny, Elizabeth Glaessner’s Body Talk possess an other-worldly whimsy. The hazy green background, created through the artist’s practice of layering oil over poured pigments, seems to morph with the body of the central figure: creating an amorphous space where subject and landscape become one constant. Cutting through the fog are two paintbrushes coated in green and blue paint. The brushes point to the figure’s buttocks where two ghostly faces stare out at the viewer--their watery eyes and waxy skin glistening, and their bald heads fading into a blue-green mist. These strange creatures seem like phantoms of the subconscious: lurking beneath the surface of our skin--ever present, their intentions what we have made them to be.
