Fred Tomaselli — Fade into You
Fred Tomaselli

Fade into You

1980

Fred Tomaselli's *Fade into You* is a hypnotic and densely layered work that embeds real leaves and pills beneath a luminous surface of acrylic and resin, blurring the boundary between the organic and the artificial. The meticulously arranged botanical and pharmaceutical elements form swirling, kaleidoscopic patterns that seem to pulse and breathe beneath the glossy resin coating. Tomaselli transforms everyday consumable objects into a visually intoxicating meditation on nature, the body, and altered states of perception.

acrylic, leaves, pills and resin on panel
