Mello Yello - Calmer Than You Are is painting #2 in the Canned Lightning Series. Wheeljack is the Transformer figure that sits atop the Mello Yello soda can. “Calmer than you are” references the scene outside the bowling alley in The Big Lebowski. #morethanmeetstheeye
In the Canned Lightning series, memories and the flavor of this time are sampled and yield a modern remix of past and present intertwined in a fresh but familiar way. A recurring subject in my work is gravity defying objects that are seemingly adrift in a colorful void and in this series it is the cans. The “lightning” in the can creates an energetic lift for the rider of the can. Each figure is on their own journey fueled by this lightning, with clues hidden in the typography that hints at their unfolding adventures.

DANKO
Los Angeles artist, Jimmy Danko, creates contemporary oil paintings on wood panel utilizing 80’s & 90’s toys and cultural references. He invites viewers to embark on a time-capsuled journey with him through his sculptural use of oil and acrylic painting realism, and challenges us to remember our childhood refrains of unbridled discovery by helping us ask “How can this perfect day last forever?”
