Mental Vacation is a solo exhibition by Dewey Saunders featuring large colorful collages and paintings of sunsets and palm trees. The psychedelic undertones, inviting color fields and bizarre juxtapositions create a body of work that feels like a trippy dream or a hallucination caused by a strange brew. The simplistic palm tree paintings balance the maximalist mixed media approach in a series that feels like a long weekend in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. The artwork feels retro and modern, with his signature Southern California imagery creating a cohesive bed of visuals for the viewer to take a mental vacation of their own. For the collage pieces, Dewey was provided with giant photographs to collage onto by Christopher Details, which takes the paper collage medium to the next level in terms of scale and complexity and giving the art room to breathe and the elements to mingle freely across space and time.
