Casey Weldon’s work has garnered much acclaim throughout the contemporary art world. Utilizing his iconic psychedelic palette of bright pinks and blue hues, Weldon’s work stands out amongst others in the “post pop-surrealist” movement. Weldon’s paintings depict strange and dreamlike circumstances of interchange between people and the natural world, creating a poignant and cinematic narrative that draws his viewers in.
Weldon’s new solo exhibition, ‘BLUNDERLUST’ is his long awaited and highly anticipated return to Seattle since his last exhibition in 2016. ‘BLUNDERLUST’ consists of an entirely new body of work, unseen to the public, rooted in Weldon’s familiar choice subjects: a variety of surreally painted cats and women placed in alternative realities and environments. Executed with his signature meticulous touch, Weldon’s work is simultaneously curious and exciting, appearing backlit with exuberant energy.

After a brief time running his own studio in Las Vegas, Nevada, He relocated to Brooklyn, New York then Seattle, WA where he now lives and works as an illustrator and fine artist.
By using to the iconography of today and yesterday’s popular culture, his work aims to awaken a feelings of nostalgia within the viewer, though often along with a sense humor, melancholy, and longing for times lost.
