Inside The Head Of Todd Schorr

by chris cunningham

I went to the Merry Karnowsky Gallery [LINK] on La Brea to look at some paintings by Viktor Koen and ended up with a piece by Todd Schorr. His work is really nuts and has a real fun but evil streak in it. He has a show of original paintings coming up this year that I’m sure I’ll be going to. I can’t help but keep staring at this piece in my house. It draws me in… it’s so hypnotizing… feel so sleepy… mUst KiLL aGaIn… weird painting. It’s called “Wish Fulfillment From Another World”. It’s kinda demonic so I put it by the front door to judge all those that pass. Turban headed alien genie snakes are such the rage. It’s so hard to find a decent one these days. And on another art related note, some day I’m going to get one of these bowling pins done [LINK].
