Svec picks up the frequency static of Surrealism, early American painting, and the personal particulars of everyday life and fuses them into fresh images. Sizeable abstractions slowly congeal into recognizable forms, like hard reality to the eyes of a waking dreamer. Objects and settings become as animate as talismans, units of equal sentient weight in the chaos of arousal. When one attempts, as Svec has done, to translate these confusions into palpable images, we’re best to pay attention.
