ARTIST STATEMENT

Thomas Caggiano's personal artistic vision, which he calls psyrealism, takes the classic surrealistic approach to the next level. Where the artist of the period painted what they imagined were the images of the unconscious, as expressed in the then-radical theories of Sigmund Freud, he draws on over 15 years of intense psychoanalysis to plumb the depths of his own unconscious. These paintings, called idscapes, create an imagistic symbology that is, concurrently, intensely personal and truly universal.
