Is it so wrong that one of my favorite artists is my very own brother?
Call it nepotism or just good taste, Dave Brockett is the next Takashi Murakami if you ask me. Like most superflat artists Dave Brockett is influenced by the commercial world around him and has worked as a graphic artist for many years.
This adds a certain panache to his masterful fine-art paintings. You don’t have to strain to see the similarities.
Both have a whimsy and hilarity to their work.
Both comment on sex
…and politics.
One might show a pastel world gone mad while another invites you into a technicolor dream scape of a 60’s cartoon…
but no matter what the method one thing is for sure, both ask the viewer nottake life so seriously an always remember to ‘Grin Smile, Giggle and Laugh’.
With his playful graphic surrealism and abstractions of pop culture and iconic images he asks the viewer to play along with him in a fun guessing game. Like with this little character that mouths all kinds of words but , like the man that painted him, he is most famous for ‘Love’.
