Art:21 | Lari Pittman

Uploaded by art21org on Sep 11, 2007
Inspired by commercial advertising, folk art, and decorative traditions, Lari Pittman's meticulously layered paintings transform pattern and signage into luxurious scenes. Meditations on romantic love, violence, and mortality, his work demonstrates the complementary nature of beauty and suffering, pain and pleasure. In a manner both visually gripping and psychologically strange, Pittman's hallucinatory works reference myriad aesthetic styles, from Victorian silhouettes to social realist murals to Southwestern kitsch.
Lari Pittman is featured in the Season 4 episode "Romance" of the Art21 series "Art in the Twenty-First Century".
