Glen Baxter – Absurdist Drawing

Enjoying the absurdist drawings of UK artist Glen Baxter.

British | 1944 – present | Drawing / Illustration

Creates absurdist drawings that combine detailed pen-and-ink illustrations with nonsensical captions, featuring cowboys, boy scouts, and explorers in surreal situations.

His work pairs traditional draughtsmanship with deadpan humor, creating visual-verbal gags that satirize artworld pretense, literary conventions, and the mundane absurdities of everyday life.

Work held in Tate Gallery and V&A Museum. Published in The New Yorker, Vogue, and Vanity Fair. Represented by Flowers Gallery.
