Open Focus Memory

Open focus memory (-) is a work by the American artist Tim Biskup (Los Angeles, United States, 1967). His artistic output constantly defies pigeonholing and encompasses paintings, sculptures, prints, and toys, and is characterised by visual intensity and a vibrant, psychedelic use of colour. His graphic style, influenced by punk-rock, Disney and Ricardo Matta, his decorative aesthetics and his iconic characters, such as Helper and the Alphabeasts, are well known. However, his solo shows have also explored darker and more personal territory, drawing on his interest in American history and exploring the contradictions of the world of fine art.
