ARTIST'S STATEMENT
An erotic sensuous moving festive carnival viewed microscopically, a Gessner painting succeeds if the viewer turns voluptuary, entranced by Alpha-Fertility-Goddesses asserting dominion in a world pulsating with intestinal flora fauna doodle drawings; mutating connective tissue linking larger forms throughout the painting. A Gessner painting is both a spontaneous explosion of unified discordant imagery and a well planned composition. Playful and serious. Lusty and graceful. A rutting splendor with poise. A prankster-voyeur fingerprint. Hungry for tricks but satiated. Universal and timeless. Accessible but remote. A dance and a meditation. A party and a wound. Disciplined but irreverently free. A serene balancing act between darkness and light. A macrocosm rife with the struggle of survival given levity by visions of ludic whimsy.
