Olaf Breuning

I had to check him out when I saw this photo. He's a Swiss artist who now lives in NYC.

Apparently, his recurring themes are face-painting, eyeballs attached to non-moving objects, long wigs, breasts, and movie allusions... everything that a 6-year old boy would wrack his brain and come up with?

Good as an anti-cigarette commercial?

A pink i-pod person standing harmlessly in a room... or rather, he's not pink but the pink room makes him look nice and harmless.
The attention given to the details!

While not a single object or theme seems to go out of elementary school craft class (seriously!), something is very attractive about his work. Curious.

The Selby's website shows more pictures from the above work. Check out his recent exhibition called The Army too! And later when you have time, the artist's own website, which is uselessly detouring.
