The Huh What Art Studio
presents an exclusive, solo exhibition featuring various collections
of New York-based artist,
Oscar Dotter, for the entire month of April 2011 (April 1-30,
2011).
The month-long show
will be located at The
Art Bazaar at 175 7th Avenue (at W. 20th Street) in Chelsea, New
York
City.
The work of Oscar Dotter has been described as "punk rock meets the
paintbrush," as well as "jet fueled and hand crafted like a Howard
Hughes aircraft."
Originally hailing
from Finland and having grown up in Oregon, Oscar has lived in New York City
since 1998. He often draws inspiration from retro and vintage
themes, contrasted with bright backdrops of bold coloring, often
with a touch of vulgarity.
A self-taught painter and photographer, Oscar typically works
on canvas with heavy acrylic and oil paints, often incorporating other elements
such as charcoal, silicon, leather, coffee, tea, plastics, textiles and
urine.
Having painted his entire life, Oscar has also produced art
and visual installations for various corporations and individuals
throughout the New York City region.
Oscar has traveled extensively throughout Scandinavia, exploring
the contemporary art scene including the Kiasma in his native land, and has also
held his own private art exhibitions in New York City.
Oscar works out of his Huh What Art Studio located in
Chelsea, New York. Various pieces of his collection can be found at www.oscardotter.com
