OTTO FRELLO The Unknown Painter

Features the paintings (mostly oil) of Danish teacher, professional illustrator and artist Otto Frello. Almost every single one of his paintings is filled with mystery and hidden allusions that are only gradually revealed to the attentive observer. Although Frello does not consider himself a Surrealist, he was one of only two Danes invited to represent Denmark at a large, international Surrealist exhibition in Bergen, Norway in 1991. Frello's exciting art can be enjoyed not only for the perfect technical skills, but for the contrasts between good-natured and scary or humorous but disturbing. This contains 45 color plates and 3 essays: The Unknown Painter by Ole Faber, Master of Mysteries by Ulf Gudmundsen, and, An Individualist with Wit and Warmth by Kris Munster. Out of Print.
