Darker Shade Of Pale | Brad Robson

Darker Shade Of Pale

In the studio, Robson paints works of sweet pop-culture nostalgia - then subjects them to attack. Erasing squeegee strokes disfigure iconic figures, transforming them into something new. Something more.

Gods from art, cinema and cartoon culture are assaulted, detained and questioned. It's a traumatic process but through it something impossible happens. He brings the dry husks of our cultural dead back to life.
