  • “I’ve always loved the grotesque. I learned recently that “esque” refers to a spiritual essence. I think that’s one of the things that differentiates the grotesque from the abject; the abject is guttural, it’s bodily; the grotesque points to these things, too, but it also points upwards. A quality I look for in painting – to point to something beyond itself.”
    —Ambera Wellmann
