The Art of Matt Lifson

BLOG: The art of LA-based painter Matt Lifson is the kind of work you would expect to see from a late-20s art school kid with strong connections to New York, LA, and the global biennial art scenes. Only better. It’s trashy, tongue-in-cheek, and a would be a little embarrassing if it weren’t executed with such self-awareness and skill. Check out his series of oil paintings on VHS covers.

Touching on themes of magic, nostalgia, party culture, Party Monster, and occultism, he’s got it all covered. At least the important stuff, anyway.
