Sebastian Schrader

On the trip to Berlin I came across the work of an incredible artist Sebastian Schrader. And then again in the book 'The Upset'. So I have dedicated an entire post just to him.

...Beacause I love him...




The subjects of his paintings appear to be portrayed as icons similar to historical, mythical art. However the subjects are made more contemporary by the showing of their flaws and worship of artefacts such as alcohol. The unsusual contexts in which we see the figures show up to date issues in a humorous yet classical manner. UTTER GENIUS!
