Currently based in Portland, Oregon, Souther Salazar works in painting, drawing, sculpture, animation, and more, creating densely-layered universes that offer aspirational spaces for dreaming, thinking and being. Salazarâs aesthetic is a pleasing hybrid of classic childrenâs book illustrations and narratives, modernist abstraction and the vernacular of contemporary illustration. Lacking irony or other types of distantiation, Salazarâs work bravely occupies a genuinely charming space that serves to put forth his propositions for ways of being in the world, together.
