Go Figure collects 44 'social surrealist' figurative paintings, spanning 1987-2023. All are in eye-popping colour: many depict a crowd in observational tableaux, each figure a character by virtue of dress, body language, and interactions with each other, animals, and their setting.
Other paintings reflect Colwell's wide travels, and still others are surreal - such as 'Junior and the Legs' (2023), which shows a young man strumming a guitar on stage, accompanied by disembodied women's limbs. Each image has a narrative and a moral purpose - often, one figure bravely moves forward, despite a hostile crowd. In Guy Colwell's world, no individual could ever be an island, just another part of a rich ecosystem. Thematically, then, it is fitting that this book was made possible by a group of his collectors, who are sponsoring the show/Guy Colwell retrospective 'Imaginary Reality,' from which this book is created, in an independent space.
Go Figure is in an 11 X 11 inch format, to best feature the high-quality reproductions of these numerous critically praised works.
