Art: Crocodile Tears by Artist Casey Bexar
Inquire about price and availibility. “Crocodile Tears” is a response to a common manipulative emotion.

This is a mixed media painting incorporating layers of acrylic and glazes, vine charcoal, oil pastel, and collage on professional stretched canvas. The collaged is type which has been is taken out of its element, spliced, and then superimposed in the piece. For the most part, it is unrecognizable but just simply used as a graphic element in the over all design. When I use this technique, I am simply invoking a reaction caused when the strong sense of positive and negative (black and white) play off each other. Just as the facade that “crocodile tears” solicit, and the reaction it actually fulfills. When your eye moves through the painting, you are drawn to these little elements of interest, but not overwhelmed. Further interpretation is left up to the viewer.
