Former classmate, talented friend and all-around nice guy, Chicago-based Andy Detskas, a.k.a. Andy Andy Andy, has been developing a charming and whimsical body of work over the past few years. My favorites in his ouevre are the vintage pastoral scenes embellished with his inquisitive robots.
Shown here are Mountain Duo above and Automaton Terrible 1 below.
I love it.
Yay! I should have mentioned that Andy has some work in Recession Obsession at Nicholas Gallery downtown, including one of the robot paintings.
Thanks for the write-up Maya, much appreciated. I have a couple of these in the pipeline that I’m going to post to Etsy this month.
Very very excellent. The robots look so happy as crush everything in their path; trees, shrubbery, rocks, antelope, whitetail deer, skunks, squirrels, caribou, people, chipmunks, badgers, moles, kittens, field mice, bears, wolves, the ever-scary howling coyotes, wild horses, domesticated horses, puppies, possum, raccoons, various species of fish, do I need to even mention all the various types of insects? I LOVE IT! I hope to someday add another piece of ANDY ANDY ANDY artwork to my collection.
Yay for Andy! I think I need a robot painting in my life, too!
