Before he had even reached his teens, Canadian-born painter Andy Dixon had already cut his creative teeth shredding in a metal band, touring during summer break, and getting flack from other students for negging their school on TV. These days, he is still every bit the colorful punk, asking, or perhaps answering the question: “What does a Renaissance painting look like under a pop culture lens?” His work frequently references classical art but, in doing so, opens up a conversation about luxury, and pokes fun at the notion that while art is soul stirring and life affirming, it also needs to carry a price tag.
We caught up with Andy as he was preparing to open his latest exhibit “Masterpieces”, which is on view until April 18th at Over the Influence in Los Angeles. He talked about the terrible physical effects of not quitting your day job, his whirlwind journey to collaborating with Versace, and the perks of letting go of branding yourself an outcast to join the great conversation.
