A year or two ago I came across this painter in my internet travels. I am not physically present in the art world these days, so I limit my access to what I can dig up in the virtual.
Out of the majority of the art I have seen that is contemporary, this guy stuck out at me. In general, he does the tongue in cheek thing like saying, "Ha, Ha, I have turned art over on its head and it will sell"! Sort of like an internet troll, who purposefully throws out erroneous information to start a reaction. I would compare him to Brian Belott, whom I know from past days at CANADA exhibitions.
I would say that like in this image, Joshua Abelow is turning Picasso over, particularly late, "bad" Picasso. In general, the "bad" in painting has become a sort of timestamp for the culture. Perhaps because we have become so inundated with images, we react in such a way as to take what was normally ignored as bad taste and re-contextualize it? You be the judge.
