Anders Dickson's painting interweaves elements from American culture, mythology, philosophy and urban and domestic spaces. Dickson's annual edition references the spiritual landscapes of African-American painter Joseph Yoakum (1890-1972). Inspired by the anthropomorphic quality in Yoakum's pictorial components such as hills and mountains, 'Papillon La Nuit' subtly alludes to a dream-like atmosphere and the world of mythical creatures in equal measure. Anders Dickson (b. 1988, Wisconsin, US) has had solo and group exhibitions at Galerie Christine Mayer, Munich; Balice Hertling, Paris (2020); Wschód, Warsaw; De Ateliers, Amsterdam (2019); Vleeshal, Middelburg and Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne (2018), among others. Dickson lives and works in Paris.
