“Clean House” Paintings by Cesar Santander
My husband and I are a little compulsive. Television programs like “Clean House” and “Hoarders” have really tapped into the likes of us -people whose lives are so dull that they derive satisfaction from watching others wrestle control of their crapola. Don’t worry, we recognize our neurosis; we just don’t know what to do about it yet.
Artist Cesar Santander rummages around and finds real treasures. Tobacco tins and wind-up toys are often his delightful subjects.

The toys, painted in scenes this way, conjure up such a funny surreal world. Our memories of the past are like this, our child perspective from that time, frozen in time, and called to the surface here. I loved every painting here, Cesar.
