The Lion is Awake Puzzle Souther Salazar

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Portland-based but California bred artist Souther Salazar's installations transport the viewer into a vibrant and endless world of overlapping drawn, painted, sculpted, and animated narratives and dreamscapes -- half-remembered, half-imagined places where stories can develop and take on a life of their own. Utilizing a variety of mixed media, found objects, and layers of assemblage, his work evokes the wonders and imagination that many of us abandoned in childhood.
