LA STUDIO

Lance Anderson’s art is strongly influenced by his work in the film industry as a special effects makeup artist. 

He draws his inspiration from a combination of childhood memories, classic black and white films of the thirties and forties and his observations on the many movie sets he has worked on.

"To me painting is very much like making a movie, except unlike a movie, I control all the elements that go into my painting. I create a storyboard, then I frame the subject like the Director. I light the subject and control the look, not unlike the Cinematographer and Art Director...It's very rewarding"
