Informed by the historical lineages of surrealism, Kim Altomare’s painted relief works use psychological reflexivity to reveal unconscious formulations of the self in the form of biomorphic abstraction. Finding pleasure through material play and process, Altomare creates work that revels in confusing the lines between painting and sculpture, social and personal, and high and low. Boundaries between drawing, painting, and relief sculpture dissolve, and haptic sensation seeps up to the surface.
