Lari Pittman: Teaching | Art21 "Exclusive"
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Dec 18, 2008
Episode #043: Lari Pittman at his home in Los Angeles; an exhibition of paintings at c/o - Atle Gerhardsen, Berlin.
Inspired by commercial advertising, folk art, and decorative traditions, Lari Pittmans 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, Pittmans hallucinatory works reference myriad aesthetic styles, from Victorian silhouettes to social realist murals to Southwestern kitsch.
Lari Pittman is featured in the Season 4 (2007) episode Romance of the Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS.

This makes so much sense. I love Lari Pittman. I believe him. I think he is sincere. I love his work and to see him speak about issues like teaching is thought provoking and delightful.
