Holy sonofabitch is this guy ever good. Dan Lydersen combines the styles and compositions of classical painters with the delights of pop surrealism. His colors are like a less light-crazy Ron English, if Ron was stuck in the Middle Ages with only a TV/VCR combo to keep him company. The first painting featured in Lydersen’s portfolio is a fucking ridiculous modern reimagining of a Bosch painting using only cult movies for Gallery 1988’s upcoming Crazy 4 Cult Show in LA. If you’re in the LA area, you have no choice but to go see that show. It’s a moral imperative. If you don’t know, now you know.
