Artwork Description

This series of works stems from the artist's fascination with Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark. Sánchez Rull succeeds in capturing the essence of this great literary work—blending it with his own personal memories and experiences—in a way that fosters a constant dialogue and interplay between text and image; he describes the writing as "absolute absurdity and Dadaism—the most radical and violent elements disguised as a fairy tale." His work presents a significant visual and intellectual challenge, possessing a compelling psychological depth and a wealth of information drawn from pop culture, art history, and rock music. The result is a body of work rich in layers of meaning and interpretation.
