The Recent Illusionary Work of Leon Keer

With Leon Keer's recent output, the painter continues to craft illusionary gallery work, murals, and installations that play with depth and nostalgia. A recent piece for Thinkspace's anniversary show, titled "Addicted" (below), also saw the artist toying with lenticular painting. On his Instagram page, Keer has also been sharing his anamorphic rooms, in which he moves in and out of the scenes to show their actual planes.

Madsen’s narrative, semi-autobiographic paintings frequently position young adults inside spaces made for children. Their bodies might be awkwardly crammed inside toy cars or between narrow school bus seats.
