The work of Patrick Lundeen explores the supremacy and assimilation of pop cultural images into broader sentience. Undermining the authority of easel painting, and aligning his work more with advertising than fine art, Lundeen paints his iconographic works of fallen heroes, pop idols, and domestic objects on cut-out canvas or tarps. Lundeen’s intricate, overworked surfaces and deliberately discordant perspective, creates pictorial landscapes that — by virtue of their simultaneous familiarity and estrangement — destabilize the viewer and provide an effective point of entry to his work.
