My art explores the complexity of identity by picturing subjects that inherently challenge both notions of normativity and conventional modes of classification.

Consumer culture, brand crossover, Veblen goods - where people desire an object because of its high price. An example is an average bar of soap costs $1 but a Tom Ford bar costs $195. The circumstances where luxury objects become status symbols.

My art focuses on composing ordinary things through my handiwork and my state of mind at that time.

In the world of Dan Lydersen, the beautiful and the gory, the pop and the Neoclassical, the fictional and the real all come to interplay - somewhat forming a utopia where all these elements live in harmony. His paintings are more like a visceral moment or a dream that you don't have a recollection of: that playdate you had with Ronald McDonald, that never-ending stroll through the park, or that time you built a sand castle on the beach.

It’s a photographic project based on anti beauty, in an era where everything is fake, where everything is designed to appear, even a simple photo has lost its spirit due to the editing. I decided to create a project that did reflect reality, or where the secondary part of the picture becomes the main part.

I choose not to limit myself to a specific theme, but overall the medium and the process is the same. I use digital collage and/or photo manipulation as a way to create a new narrative from familiar images.

I make surreal collages with mostly found vintage material. Images are cut out and put in a reverse context, playing with exaggeration, scale, cultural references and sometimes topped with a hint of humor. I also love making stop motion videos, which I also post on Vine and Instagram.

It deals with a lot of stuff. Thing is, I get bored super fast, that’s why I am searching for new ideas all day. I don’t want to get bored with the same images that the advertising industry offers us every day. Same for the music business, art and media. I hate that people think we’re just some stupid idiots that can get fed with the same shit all over again. I try to give a new input to people and to open their minds for creativity and a life that is more than just daily routine.

When I was a kid, all I would do was draw and collect pictures. And most of the time I would draw the pictures I collected. As a teenager, I had big interests in graphic design and illustration. It wasn’t until university, where I did illustration, design and photography in my first year, that I discovered photography. I received high distinctions in all subjects but decided that I wouldn’t spend the next four years doing something I knew, but rather something I knew little about, but loved as much. So,I majored in photo media and sub-majored in design.

Usually my art is focused on everything that can move my mind, my feelings, my ideas and craziness. So it could be everything. But usually I like to represent something grotesque, ironic and iconic at the same time: these topics are really interesting and I like people's reactions after seeing my pics.

My art focuses on my thoughts and day dreams. I create digital collages and GIF’s that twist reality into a false reality. I’m obsessed with the idea of escapism and I love that I can create a world of my own using elements from every-day life. My collages tend to either be bright and bold in color or heavily black; it’s rare that I create work that looks photographic.

Emotions, objects, and colors. These are primary focuses of Venus Mansion but my art also expresses who I am. To be frank, Venus Mansion does not have a set of messages it wants to convey through art. As I mentioned before, it is the means for me to express myself and I would like my audiences to form their own opinions and draw a positive influence on creative activities.

Our art mainly focuses on the remarkably ordinary things in life that one would presumably often overlook, we take this phenomena and strive to look at it from a different light and giving it the attention it needs. By incorporating simple everyday materials, one can easily relate to the familiarity and interpret the piece in their own way, hence appreciating the little things that go unnoticed.
