Beer With a Painter: Keith Mayerson

Hyperallergic interviews Los Angeles-based painter Keith Mayerson, who discusses his ongoing 'My American Dream' series—a cosmology of paintings blending American identity, activism, and popular culture. The conversation covers his early influences from comics, the Muppets, and Hunter S. Thompson, his transition from cartooning to painting, and his vibratory, swirling brushwork. Mayerson's work has been featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and is currently on view at the Aspen Art Museum and the Pollock-Krasner House.

Aspen exhibit brings an internationally known painter back to his home state

Keith Mayerson returns to his home state for his first major Colorado exhibition, "My American Dream (Rocky Mountain High)," at the Aspen Art Museum. The show features works from his long-running "My American Dream" series, a project consisting of over 140 oil paintings that blend cultural icons, personal history, and landscapes into nonlinear narratives. This specific iteration draws heavily on Mayerson's childhood memories of Aspen as a bohemian utopia and incorporates imagery ranging from vintage ski passes to civil rights heroes.

Colorado Arts Spotlight: An exhibition honoring the Bauhaus artist behind Denver’s iconic “French fry” sculpture comes to Aspen — plus, things to do this weekend

The Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies in Aspen has opened a new exhibition titled "Sculpting the Environment," the first-ever show dedicated to the site-specific outdoor sculptures and land art of Bauhaus artist Herbert Bayer. Bayer, who moved to Aspen in 1945 at the invitation of industrialist Walter Paepcke, lived there for nearly 30 years and created Denver's iconic "Articulated Wall" sculpture in 1985, the year of his death. The exhibition, co-curated by Koko Bayer (his step-granddaughter) and Adam Thomas, highlights his three-dimensional process and his role in shaping Colorado's cultural landscape.
