Eric Yahnker
Posted by Fabio 17 June 2010
Los Angeles-based artist Eric Yahnker seems to have a very odd and dark sense of humour which is reflected in almost all of his works of art. His mixed media and collage masterpieces combine traditional and classic images with some twisted humor and caustic wit.
Yahnker’s multimedia imagery explores the humor and absurdity in familiar subjects. Pop culture icons, rock stars, presidents and those who most consider off-limits make appearances throughout his work. Superman gives a naked lady a piggy-back, the cowardly lion from The Wizard of Oz studies Jewish people, James Brown sings from his coffin, dogs wear spectacles, all kinds of weird and very wonderful concepts.
He received his B.F.A. in animation from the California Institute Of Arts and studied journalism at University of Southern California.
Eric Yahnker lives and work in Los Angeles, California.
