(Drivebycuriosity) - Gagosian is a global art gallery empire.
Alone in New York City they have at least 4 galleries which frequently
exhibit important artists. Recently I saw an exhibition with paintings by Dan Colen, some of them are filling the huge walls (gagosian ). These art works need really a lot of space, which no museum can afford.
According to the press release the artist was inspired by "the aesthetics of Disney animation".
The painting on top of this post is called: "Mother (Bedroom)" (2021-22, oil on canvas, 59 x 151 inches/149.5 cm x 383.5 cm). The art work - and some of the following - belong to the series "Mother" and are based on scenes from the Disney classic Lady and the Tramp (1955).
Above follows "Mother (Intersection)" (2021-22, oil on canvas, 59 x 151 inches/149.9 x 383.5 cm).
