Frank Venadas describes his expression as "psychological art." His ink drawings depict worlds within worlds of seemingly infinite depth and replication, with an excess of order and architecture in an otherwise limitless dreamscape. The viewer feels meaning through symbolic designs as spiritual experiences are simulated by referencing physical form and structures; we are left to ask ourselves, what is real: the feeling or the form?

The audience is drawn into a sci-fi dream out of time and place, feeling both futuristic and ancient with cold, intricate machinery juxtaposing organic circles, mystical characters and shapes. And yet inside this world of seemingly infinite possibility lives a voyeuristic soul trapped in psychological bondage, watching its audience with envy for their freedom of movement through life. These eyes are represented in all of Venadas' drawings, conveying a longing for expansion and distance, and dreaming of another world--a real world outside the boundaries of mechanical hyperreality.

Even the distribution of the artwork reflects this feeling of confinement, as Venadas only ever sells replications of the drawings. The original pieces are never free to move through life, but can only express themselves through the finite space of simulation. These simulations live the dream longed for in the expression, while the reality remains that the soul will forever be the voyeur, never escaping its bondage.
