- Beau Stanton explores the dynamic between graphic iconography and classicism, juxtaposing apocalyptic imagery with the aesthetic excess of Victorianism in order to synthesize organic and ornamental into a coherent post millennial point of view. Stanton fuses elements of 19th century letterpress printing designs with masterful figurative oil painting, embellishing and manipulating focus, light and perspective.
- A member of the third generation of Pop Surrealism, Stanton hails from California and was influenced heavily by Realist painters Andrew Wyeth and Alphonse Mucha as well as the Aesthetic Movement of the Late 19th Century. He relocated to New York after graduation in 2008, and has since been mentored by New York Pop Surrealist Ron English.
- Beau Stanton has shown work with Ad Hoc Art, Gallery Hijinks, Opera New York, and Last Rites Galleries and is currently preparing for his New York solo debut at Bold Hype Gallery.
