Several things about Ferris Plock's work are appealing to me. The paintings on wood give these unusual portraits texture and emphasize the contrast of the other-worldly "wicked samurai skateboarders" to the real world.
The combination of detailed patterns also attracts me to Plock's painting style, the juxtaposition of the busy patterns suggest folds in fabric and flatten the shapes into collage pieces. It brings to mind abstract parts of Klimt paintings that intermingle with portraits of women and lovers. Although Plock's subject matter is much more new wave, combining mythological creatures and historical references with a humorous twist.
