Tyler Hildebrand

I caught The Retirement Party exhibition from Tyler Hildebrand over the weekend and rather enjoyed the massive installation of works. Much like his portfolio site, the works are presented as a huge wall of works crammed side-by-side. Stylistically it ranges from strange folk art (see Peanuts rugs and toilet seat covers), bizarre character sketches and collages with just the right amount of pop-culture references. I won't lie, the Roseanne series of images caught my eye not because of their overt nostalgia but because they just served as a familiar jumping off point for something interesting.
