Olaf Breuning at Metro Pictures

Olaf Breuning’s multifarious practice is united by his distinctive sense of humor. His drawings, photographs, videos and sculpture utilize a vocabulary that draws from ubiquitous cultural symbols to present a deceptively lighthearted and colorful meditation on everyday life. Incorporating one-liner visual puns and graphic jokes, Breuning’s works are deeply steeped in the pathos and absurdity of the human experience.
