Kirsten Deirup’s painting style could be described as the genetically-deformed love child of Yves Tanguy and Tod Browning. A native of Berkeley and a Cooper Union graduate, Deirup’s works are dreamlike tableux of monsters, forts, haunted trees, spare interiors, junk and garbage. It’s the sort of work that defies casual viewing–a piece like “Good Times” (above) will stop you in your tracks mid-gallery-stroll.
Spike Jonze’s feature film rendition of Maurice Sendaks classic story Where The Wild Things Are has hit movie theaters worldwide.
The film represents years of work from hundreds of different artists, writers, photographers, musicians, actors, and creators of all degrees.
This place has been established to help shed some light on many of the small influences that converged to make this massive project a reality.
