“For those of you unfamiliar with Gary Baseman’s prolific work, he often works in the realm of mystical existence. His characters are iconic. Sticky sweet (seriously—most of them have goo running down their belly-buttons). Cutesy at first glance but laced with an underlying desire. Baseman’s paintings and sculptures evoke ideas of power and passion, of laughter and joy from a different dimension, and a true atmosphere of desire where insecurities and fears are destroyed.” Interview after the jump.
