When realism and surrealism collide, you get Dave Martsolf. He has the skills and trained hand to make his paintings graphic and true to life, which he pairs with his theoretical, conceptual imagination. It is not very often that we come across an artist so grounded yet so fanciful, all in the same instance.
Martsolf's work is fresh and original. He takes the everyday and ventures with it into the unknown, a journey that results in his astonishing art. Even some of his most far-fetched pieces posses an aura of sanity and organization, dispelling any notion of the irrational or unconscious typically associated with surrealism.

Martsolf's style ranges from classical surrealism to organic modern dance rhythms in drawn line, shape, and volume, giving rise to physical forms of life and motion. Martsolf works primarily in oils, watercolor, ink, and pencil.
