Olan Ventura’s realism turns surreal, what with the color becoming brighter, clearer and harder, complimenting the mood created by the legs of the hidden subject peek out of the folding table being lifted. Olan Ventura’s body of work in the past half decade is thoughtful and touched with a wry humor and is much sought after by collectors. In fact, in the complex scenes of his most representative paintings, the subjects are shown at work or play or generally living out their lives, all under the spell of the absurd.
