About the Artist: Dixon is a Canadian punk singer turned self-taught painter. About the Artwork: His pieces begin with thin layers of acrylic paint which then he illustrates on top of with oil pastels. Dixon is interested in luxury and luxurious objects. Paintings of expensive things are themselves expensive things collected by the wealthy to promote the luxury lifestyle. [Source] His paintings of expensive living rooms — which often feature a painting of his own hanging on the wall — can peak the interest and gaze of almost anyone because they portray something so commonplace, while simultaneously portraying a space that looks more like a fantasy. https://www.andydixon.net |
