To hear the full version with music, visit Vantagepointradio.com The paintings and drawings of Berlin based American artist Allison Sommers act as a portal to a universe very similar to our own but in which some evil genius has altered a few lines of the code. Grotesque in subject matter but handled with exquisite artistic attention, the viewer is left struggling to decide whether they should turn away in disgust or give into the urge to explore the endless details of oozing contorted flesh and sticky tissue. Sommers’ work expands tonally and dimensionally with her mixed media assemblage pieces and sculptures, hinting more perhaps to her degree in history than her two dimensional work does. After recently moving from New York to Berlin her artistic outlook and output have come to a crossroads and it was a pleasure to speak with her at this pivotal time in her career.
