Surreal Mashups of Unthink Project

Nancy Fouts pairs unlikely objects together to create a surreal combination of nature, humor, religion and wittiness into some clever mashups for her Unthink series. The American born artist has lived in London most of her life and pursued a career in advertising while keeping art in arm’s reach by running a gallery with her spouse. The modern day surrealist injects extraordinary insight into ordinary items gathered mostly from junking, visits to flea markets, and eBay finds. On the subject of her work, Fouts says her main goal is to “disrupt roles and associations we give objects, changing orders and mixing things up a bit.” Perhaps the genius behind Fout’s juxtaposed connections is how she can pair two simple objects to yield a sculpture that is interesting, insightful, and borderline uncomfortable.
