Thinkspace Gallery is pleased to present new works by Southern Californian-born artist Casey Weldon in Latent Content.
Known for surreal imagery that combines darkness with humor, Weldon
creates visual puns and narratively suggestive contexts to stir
associations or deliver smart, if at times irreverent, punch lines. His
works have often sought to critique and consider the role of popular
culture and digital media in the creation of hyperbole and
representational extremes.
