I hold these images for work of art that goes beyond the present time.

About fusionism in art
The style of fusionism (Abstract Realism) was in the 1980ies considered "messy" by most viewers and gallery owners, referring to the mix of realism and what seems to be abstract/non figurative. Today the same paintings hardly seems "messy".
But this was long before release of www (by CERN, 30 april 1993), and the rise of photoshop and it's like, which resulted in a commercial expression that often reminds of early fusionist paintings. The earliest obvious fusionist drawings and paitings by H.E.Saele, dates back to the 1970ies.
Oslo Art Gallery, fusjonist utstilling , september 11, 2012:
Utstillingen i Oslo Art Gallery har et retrospektivt tilsnitt og viser malerier og arbeider i blandingsteknikk på papir, noen datert tilbake til begynnelsen av 1980 tallet. Stilen veksler mellom realisme og «fusjonisme», en stilkombinasjon av det figurative og det mer abstrakte, en stil Sæle har arbeidet med siden 1970 -tallet. Birger Joachimsen, Oslo Art Gallery.

She was found in her old wedding gown, dead. She took an overdose. And yes, I once knew her.
Why the abrupt title on this heroin painting? Because we all know about someone, anyone can fill in a name.
