David Irvine at the Flying Pony Café

Nerda Lisa looks a little stunned, hanging among David Irvine’s collection of revamped thrift store art.

Back in the 80s, another guy in Toronto was making postcards with hand-painted King Kongs climbing the CN Tower and so on. Banksy has done some famous ones. Wayne White does it with lettering. Done well, it is an amusing way of lampooning kitsch. David Irvine does it well. He also removes some of the “serious” from serious art, and that’s fun.
