Onirika

Onirika is a collection of surrealistic drawings. Ricardo Jabardo traces the fine line that divides the territory where lucidity intersects with irrationality. It's a book that reminds us of artists such as Max Ernst and Rene Magritte among others. His drawings often employ tricks of size, objects, characters and perception, to resolve a visual humor while exposing a deeper idea. His drawings are intense, allegorical, and in some way express a literary construction that reminds us of dreams dreamt under a noonday desert sun.The Illustrations in this book awaken in the observer an instant emotion and thoughts related to our human condition and the absurdity of instants in everyday life. This interesting, deliberately challenging, and unusually drawn book, portrays scenes where things are, well, not quite wrong. We're publishing this book because Jabardo has always seemed to us as one of the most genuine, inventive, and ingenious artists working in Atlanta today.
