BEAUTY: Painting--Christopher Orr

English artist Christopher Orr creates absolutely stunning images combining the sense of Dutch Old Masters, some Turner, and a dose of dream logic where memories and illusions of people and places get superimposed and collaged onto each other. The results are quietly beautiful, a little disturbing, and even a bit romantic.
