If you don't know (German painter Daniel Richter has an incredible show entitled A Major Survey hanging at the Denver Art Museum) now you know.
Ricther's large canvases explore pop culture, police states, German history, punk rock, and super heros. Many of his works feature crude, brilliantly colored figures, who look as if they were being viewed through thermal binoculars (think Predator when he's tracking Schwarzenegger) set amongst haunting backgrounds. while still other works feature crisp dark outlines liken to that of pop comic artist Roy Lichtenstien. Truly awe inspiring work, this is the most bad ass exhibit to hit the DAM since the opening Radar show.
The exhibit runs until January 11th.
