With show titles like "Stockholm Syndrome", "Faggot Carnival" and "Prawns" ("a homosexual . . . with a smokin' hot body and an unfortunate head"), the work of artist Nolan Hendrickson is sure to titillate. Reminiscent of abstract expressionist turned art-cartoonist Philip Guston and champagne guzzling 80's art star George Condo, Nolan's work brings a colorful queer nod back into figurative painting, with an added heap of humor to balance out the background noise: camp made classy, class made camp. Nolan also helped piece together my recent appearance in the latest issue of ScumBagFagMag. I'm a HUGE fan! If I had more change in my piggy bank I'd definitely spring for a painting. Trade you for a dirt pile drawing Nolan?

ReplyDeleteI met Nolan in the city when i lived there. His talent as an Artist is well worth the time spent looking. I love to fancy myself at the subject of rest area, seeing that i do have a wee tendency to wear clothes that art slightly to small in public rest areas. As a gay man, I find that his work brings out many of the experiences that i have lived through in almost the ideal of drama with distorted shapes, colors and juvenile subjects. I love his work.
