Dana Schutz

Dana Schutz is an artist based out of New York. In her paintings, she places characters into fantasy worlds she creates, making loose back stories for the characters and situations she depicts.

Interview with BOMB Magazine | Artist page at The Saatchi Gallery (UK)

Crucial Quote: I’m painting a man with a mustache. You know how young people wear a mustache to be nostalgic or maybe with a little irony? But then they just become a man with a mustache. I’m painting that man. I’m thinking about a lot of different things right now. It’s kind of an in-between time for me. I might scrap the painting tomorrow.

Now exhibiting as part of the New Museum’s (235 Bowery, NYC) After Nature exhibit.
