Motel Gallery Wall KURIOSIS Explorer SMALL (A3 - 70x100) the depth of the originalNico Tracey's "Motel" assembles fragments of mid century Americana into a quietly unsettling collage: roadside signage, flat architectural planes, and found imagery locked into a composition that is both familiar and displaced. The deliberate flatness of the picture plane and the tension between mundane subject matter and strange juxtaposition locate the work firmly in contemporary surrealist collage playful on the surface, subtly uncanny underneath.
