More pictures by Kathleen Lolley, American “folk surrealist”. 

Kathleen Lolley calls her art “folk or botanical surrealism”. She says: “That’s just me categorizing the subject matter, and the way that I play with the subject matter is surrealism. It’s not that complicated and that’s what I’ve been striving for. I might have some complex themes, but I hope that it’s executed in a tangible way. That’s why I would use ‘folk,’ because surrealism implies dream-like to me, but folk implies accessible and more down-to-earth. I like bringing those two ideas together.”

“I grew up in Kentucky, going camping, and also Pennsylvania surrounded by nature. It’s a place that’s very peaceful and away from the complications of modern, boxed, closed-in living. Nature is like art — I look at it and see something different every time. That’s why I like Bernheim’s mission, because it’s important to preserve spaces like this. Nowadays, if it’s not developed it’s not worth anything when it comes to the modern mechanisms that make use of the land. They’re just developing it and turning it into concrete or putting in pipelines. And development is important, but it’s not mindful of what it’s doing to the whole planet."
