Bio & Statment

Kristen Landsman (b. 2000) is a Baltimore-based artist exploring the absurdity and nostalgia embedded in suburban culture, focusing on the over-the-top spectacle of novelty experiences. Through acrylic paintings, she examines the strange yet familiar—objects and spaces she remebers as “special” but saturated with kitsch. Her recent works delves into suburban indulgences like Rainforest Café, Medieval Times and birthday celebrations, treating these artifacts as both humorous and haunting symbols of consumer escapism.

Influenced by pop culture, Americana, and the aesthetic excess of the late 20th century, she approach her subjects with a mix of satire and sincerity. By distorting or amplifying these icons of mass-produced joy, she reveals the surreal undertones of their existence. Her work osilates between nostalgia and critique, asking viewers to reconsider the comfort of the familiar and the commercialized fantasies that shape our collective memory.
