He works out of his Winter Street Studio in the Arts District.</p> <p> </p> <p>His first series, <em>Atlas Metamorphosis</em>, started with detailed greyscale sumi ink drawings that spawned from a lucid dream. Since then, his art evolves from his series of Sacred Geometry Surrealism paintings, called <em>Iterations</em>, to multimedia public art and installations including sculpture and animation. The subconscious, with its symbolic story-telling, has always played a part in his cultural narrative message.</p> <p> </p> <p>As Fink explains, his dark images with warped perspectives “invite the viewer into a world that came from a lucid dream in which I observed the completed work. Pushing myself to recreate something that was beyond my imagination and skill in my waking life, I have used this inspiration to develop the <em>Metamorphosis Project</em>, a concept that continues to spawn the hidden messages of my dreams.”</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>For more information about the artist, visit: </em></strong><a href="http://www.vincentfink.com" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline"><strong><em>www.vincentfink.com</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/2finkart.jpg" style="height:412px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/3finkart.jpg" style="height:411px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/4finkart.jpg" style="height:411px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/1finkart.jpg" style="height:414px; width:600px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>All images copyright </em></strong><strong><em>© of Vincent Fink.</em></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Highbrow Magazine</strong></p> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/vincent-fink" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Vincent Fink</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/surrealist-artists" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">surrealist artists</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/houston-arts-scene" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Houston arts scene</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/texas-artists" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">texas artists</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/american-art" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">american art</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/contemporary-art" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Contemporary art</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">The Editors</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photographer field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Photographer:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">All images courtesy of Vincent Fink</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Thu, 06 Aug 2020 23:38:14 +0000 tara 9740 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/10778-vincent-fink-draws-his-subconscious-create-surrealist-masterpieces#comments
