Casey Weldon is an American artist best known for his use of melancholy and humor in conjunction with the iconography of modern pop culture, leading his critics to designate his style as “post-pop surrealism“. His most famous work is a series of paintings known as Four-Eyed Cats.
Weldon’s fine art, imbued with a sumptuous illustrative quality, is indicative of his profession. He mixes iconography of today and the past to evoke a sense of humor, nostalgia, fantasy and even melancholy within the viewer.
His pallet and haunting subjects recall the Surrealist masters like Breton and de Chirico.
Born in Southern California, Casey Weldon spent the majority of his formative years there graduating from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. After operating a studio out of Las Vegas, Weldon relocated to New York, then California, and now Portland where he works as a full time artist.
