Jeremy Shockley
Bio
In Shockley’s paintings, the supernatural is embedded within the real. To achieve this liminal expression, he draws on the art historical tradition of trompe-l'œil (French for “deceiving the eye”). As a technique, it has long been a measure of artistic virtuously: to paint so convincingly that the viewer can’t distinguish between the painting and reality.
Shockley’s trompe-l'œil works are uncanny, magical and humorous. Even when the pictural illusion deceives our eye, we remain uncertain of what we are seeing. His paintings appear real, yet we know they can’t be – there can’t be a person staring at us through holes in the canvas… can there? Traditionally, trompe-l'œil has often been used on church ceilings, blending its architecture into divine scenery. Similarly, by bleeding his fantastical worlds into our reality, Shockley’s paintings invite us to come along, across the threshold of the frame and into another realm where magical elements exist; where the fabric of the universe is stabled to a frame and lifted on the back of a skeleton.
