Blindsided: acrylic on large canvases. The artist recalls being intoxicated by the idealized images in her 1950s children's books, in which chubby-legged toddlers frolicked with puppies and mothers offered treats to their happy broods, and draws one in with a dead-on recreation of the optimism that characterized the books.

Art with a “Hitchcock Twist”

The Blindsided Paintings

The Tribune

Artist Lyn Nance-Sasser recalls being intoxicated by the idealized images in her 1950s children's books, in which chubby-legged toddlers frolicked with puppies and mothers offered treats to their happy broods.

"I remember just looking at them and looking at them," Nance-Sasser says. "Those pictures had such a warm feeling." Years later, a grown-up Nance-Sasser felt it was time to infuse those sugarcoated images with a dose of reality

"I thought: 'This is really wonderful. But you know, real life has lots of twists and surprises.' "The result is her current series, "The Blindsided Paintings," in which Nance-Sasser reflects on the idea of being blindsided by life, surprised by events that are out of our control.

Using acrylic on large canvases, Nance-Sasser draws one in with a dead-on recreation of the optimism that characterized the books. Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that the painting's subjects are due for a life-altering surprise: an alligator's bite an oncoming twister or a sizzling stick of dynamite that will soon destroy their idyll.

The Mercury

"Innocuously disguised as storybook illustrations from the 1950s, the paintings of Lyn Nance-Sasser are intelligent and well-crafted scenes of impending doom."
