Serl, Jon

Serl’s history is certainly apparent in his work, much of which leaps from the surface to catch the viewer’s eye. His world is filled with sideshow figures and contortionists, but his past as a vaudevillian does not explain the mystical, almost archetypical, dimension of these paintings. Lively and bold, they are infused with a sense of narrative drama.
