Proper nowadays artists - day 118: Erik Sandberg (USA)

Erik Sandberg (USA, 1975)

Disturbing illusions

I’ve seen his style called magical realism. There’s a distinct Neue Sachlichkeit element to it in my opinion, definitely in the northern European form, but with much more graphically disturbing and illusionistic. Personally, I’d love to be painting like this.

Once in Future (triptych), 2010, oil on panel, triptych: 11.5 x 15 “, 11.5 x 11.5 “, 11.5 x 15 “
