The Wurst Portfolio Preview

Dick Van der Wurst on September 25, 2025

Dick’s layers of acrylic on used fence pickets imbue his work with a sense of history and time aged character that pops off the wall. All of this is done through combinations of monumentally mundane imagery with a layering technique that creates captivating universes of complex physical depth. His Iconoclasmatic Pop Art™ creations possess a perceptible history that gives them a more substantive physical presence while the unexpected juxtapositions of relatable commonplace imagery reveal a depth of concept that shines back into the viewer’s eyes an oblique, irreverent reflection of our common culture

Just Live a Bit More Simply, Fatty

Dick Van der Wurst on February 4, 2025

If things we don’t need but really like are going to be more expensive, tough shit.

Y’all have to know the pressure America has always put on brown people around the world to provide us with this unsustainable standard of living.

I’m not in favor of how Trump is handling this shit nor his motivations in doing so, I’m just saying. We aren’t owed all this relative luxury our country is flooded with and while we may enjoy it, it comes at a cost.

Maybe just consume less, live simple and fucking vote next time.

The Creation of a Master Piece – How it all comes together.

Dick Van der Wurst on July 12, 2024

Here you can see the steps involved in creating a new Dick Van Der Wurst artwork.

  • Let’s get AI to help us find a fat ugly man angel!
  • Ew. That’s weird. I like it.
  • Photoshop comp with elements found all over the internet.
  • Here are my raw materials
  • Sand off layer of weathered wood and dirt.
  • Look how smooth and nice.
  • Priming the wood.
  • For every element of every piece, I need to cut out sections of wood that they’ll go on.
  • Complex labeling system.
  • Now I put them together to begin tracing. I’m such a postmodern, pop art cheater!
  • Tract that stuff. Even the old masters had their tricks.
  • Once all the images are on the pickets, I can cut them all out.
  • Lots of scraps get produced. I have a way bigger pile at this point.
  • After they are cut out, all the individual boards have to be put together with dowel rods (not shown).
  • All of the individual images to paint for all of my planned pieces begin to pile up.
  • More.
  • And more.
  • Now I have to sand all the edges. This is not fun.
  • When they’re all sanded, they need to be brought in to get ready to paint on.
  • The edges are painted white and the backs are clear coated to make them all shiny, clean and smooth.
  • When the backs and edges are applied, sanded and recoated…I can begin to apply texture and base colors.
  • Each images from every piece needs to be layered with texture and color.
  • Then I can jump into the details.
  • The images begins to take shape from the bottom up.
  • Progress
  • Finished images are piled up to be assembled later.
  • The pile gets smaller as I assemble all of my new work.
  • View of the back of a piece being assembled. Every piece presents unique challenges I’m never prepared for…but I’ve done a lot of these by now and can figure it out pretty quickly.
  • Harbinger: For the Love of God painting of a 4 legged AI generated fat ugly angel above octopus tentacles holding Lone Star beer cans.

Relative Sexiness of High Angle Cleavage Selfies

Dick Van der Wurst on January 25, 2024

What is up with all the high angle pics certain women post on social media? I understand that it’s a simple trick to make yourself look more attractive, but why are we not more self aware that we are blatantly trying to obscure our true selves? So high angle pics make you look more attractive but then many women will complain about the people these pics inspire to contact them…and yet they continue to post them, every day, over and over.

So what? Who cares? Well not only is it interesting to me that so many people will repeatedly use such obvious tricks, but why it works! The angles of pics incorporate aspects of both physical and philosophical relativism. The subjective “truth” of how beautiful someone is depends on the relative angle of the observer.

Relativism about truth is the claim that what is true for one individual, or one social group, may not be true for another and that every effort to adjudicate between context-dependent standards of truth and falsity is bound to be futile.

ScienceDirect.com

But it isn’t only for women. Men can appear to be more attractive and dominant, accentuating features of male prowess by taking pics from LOWER angles.

The journal Psychological Science (Makhanova et al., 2017).

  • People’s physical position relative to others may shape how those others perceive them.
  • people use relative physical position to manage impressions by strategically positioning themselves either higher or lower relative to ostensible observers.
  • Five studies supported the prediction that women take and display photographs portraying themselves in a low relative physical position to highlight their youthful features and appear attractive
  • whereas men take and display photographs portraying themselves in a high relative physical position to highlight their size and appear dominant. 
  • as do members of other social species, people use relative physical position to manage social impressions, and although these impression-management strategies may have deep ancestral roots, they appear to manifest themselves through a contemporary human modality-photographs.

Women

…being viewed from above (a downward angle) amplifies signs of youth and attractiveness, such as having a large eyes and forehead, and thus appears to be consistent with women’s motives.

Indeed, women appear more attractive when their heads are tilted down and they are thus viewed from a downward angle.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28485703/

Men

“Being viewed from below (an upward angle) amplifies
signs of dominance, such as height and a large jaw, and thus appears to be consistent with men’s motives.

Indeed, targets appear more dominant when their heads are tilted back and they are thus viewed from an upward angle.”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28485703/

Interestingly, the researchers found that men and women take pictures from different angles depending on their motive.

Women:

  • tend to take selfies from above when trying to appear more attractive
  • when the picture is aimed at other women, they take the picture straight on.
  • tended to take their online dating selfies from above.

Men:

  • showed no particular preference for dating pictures.
  • switched from a low-angle selfie for attracting women
  • to a straight-on selfie if the audience was thought to be other men.

And so I am working on this series of paintings that feature high angle pics of women that accentuate their feminine beauty. I incorporate an unsettling gaze into the view’s eyes that shows a bold, unwavering confidence in what they are doing. Also included are examples of mating displays from the animal kingdom as well as hints of underlying discomfort that is always present when you can’t back up the reality you’re trying to project.

Prickly Pear Pinups: A Series Full of Love

Dick Van der Wurst on January 26, 2023

2022 was wild for me. We came out of the pandemic just in time for me to find myself with a surgically repaired knee, turning 50 and single for the first time since 1985.

I had 6 colonoscopies, 2 stays in the hospital that left me seriously anemic, a vasectomy, a break up, coVid, and almost bought a house in Illinois with a new lady but it didn’t work out.

I also had an art show and created 13 new pieces for it. Among them were three pieces that were a culmination of an idea I had for a while but didn’t know what to do with.

I Love to Fish painting of a woman in a cactus fishing with a heart shaped lure sitting in a prickly pear cactus growing out of a Fred's Fish Fry Cup
I Love To Fish
Nacho Hollarback Girl painting of a girl in a prickly pear cactus growing out of a rico cheese can with skulls wearing top hats
Nacho Hollaback Girl
Best Maid Plans of Mice and Men painting of a lady in a prickly pear cactus growing out of a pickle jar
The Best Maid Plans of Mice and Men
I Can’t Remember the Alamo

For a few years I knew I wanted to do something with pinup girls posing in, around, and on prickly pear cactuses, but I needed something else, another layer, a special Dick Van Der Wurst Lowbrow Pop Art twist. That started to come into view as I considered what the cactuses might be growing out of. Containers, cans, cups, buildings and brands that are uniquely San Antonio, to go with the women I was deciding to use for my pinups…also uniquely San Antonio. Especially since I had been going through the San Antonio dating ringer for the previous 6 months.

  1. San Antonio women love to fish
  2. San Antonio women are spicy
  3. San Antonio women have their own agendas
  4. San Antonio women can drink

Now, it is important to note that none of these “revelations” are criticisms…except maybe the fishing part. I don’t get that… and although they may be broad generalizations, they reflect my experience with the limited number I encountered across various races and ethnicities…again except the fishing part. I swear they all say they love to fish.

But the result gets my delicate beauties nestled in the hostile embrace of prickly pear pads…a plant that represents so much of the environment and culture. Food, medicine, feed for livestock, beauty all within a rugged plant that can damn near survive anything as long as it’s hot enough. I love all that prickly pear represents about the people, the history and the very climate itself.

Something New? Time For A Change

Dick Van der Wurst on December 21, 2022

Sedimentary - Rock Quarry (2012)

So have the fence pickets, low end lowbrow stuff run its course? Or am I just painting the wrong things on it? I think I’m too tight on a surface that is too unforgiving. Am I getting ready to leave Texas for Illinois and need to switch to something more vertical (Chicago) and horizontal (prairie)?

I’m thinking layers as parts of a personality and personal history in a tall, vertical form at that resembles the human form with a slightly off center square on top for the head. Could work in expressive hands on the body and partially obscured face in the square.

This is how I could do portraits of cops who shot innocent people. Lot so fabric layers depicting white privilege and American idealism and mythological righteousness.

I could be how I paint looser and allow the ground to be incorporated into the imagery and rework the surface and generally beat the hell out of things.

The pickets can be used to make frames and ornamentation and overlays and cutout embellishments like I use now. I could use new woodworking tools to assemble rustic frames and a Dremel to carve elements.

I can bring the rectangle back and then break from it through addition rather than subtraction. The enclosed painted layered rich surface is the sacred, isolated, precious otherness. The magical realm separated from the rest of reality.

Trivial Pursuits (1999)

This same type of thing can be done with relief prints as well. different pieces cut and inked and assembled on a page one at a time.

New Big Idea: “Toxic Masculinity” (working title)

Dick Van der Wurst on August 31, 2021

So it’s been a while since I started hearing about this. It finally bounced around in my head long enough for it to work its way back out again as a kernel of an idea. It’s pop culture. It’s fraught with emotion, pain, ignorance, smug indignation and denial. In other words, it’s perfect fodder for a painting.

And with this being Texas, there is all kinds of different toxic masculinities running around. You have good ol boys, wannabe cowboys, actual cowboys, bikers, cholos, gansters, hustlers, and evangelicals. I’m not going to touch most of that with a 10 foot pole. At least not directly. I’ll stick to my own point of view as I explore the heart of the matter that bubbles up in all of those different people.

At first I heard toxic masculinity, and as a man, was assuming it was all about me and being a man and masculine in general. I don’t deny people who have been under the boot of the very real white privilege patriarchy. I have guilt knowing that I am an inevitable beneficiary of that system every day in every way, and I know when I need to keep my mouth shut and just not engage. Know one wanted to hear how I felt about the phrase “toxic masculinity” a.

I still privately didn’t get it. I was seeing it as a general feeling that masculinity was inherently toxic. I didn’t like that. We all have some combination of classic masculine and feminine qualities. There is no denying that the sexes have some physical, emotional and their own valid ways of processing things. Not to say of course that individual of either sex can have more or less of one way or another, but masculinity is a thing and it isn’t all bad.

Then one day, I finally got it. Like a flash. Maybe I was reading about ineffectual frustrated white males who aren’t succeeding despite their advantages and lash out violently at the world as a response. I saw toxic masculinity for what it was. Maybe I should have asked more questions instead of backing out of the room trying not to be noticed. But it was apparent to me finally that it wasn’t about me being masculine, it was about frustration at not being gifted with success that men reacted to in violent ways. At least partly. That was at least the aspect that most intrigued me and the one that seemed to be popping up in the news the most with more and more marginalized men engaging in mass shootings.

So that lead me to this piece. We have the flexing skinny white boy wearing the symbol of the toxic frustration he endures like a halo…in his mind the world is doing this to him. He’s a martyr. He is gripping the false idol of male virility, strength and pride. Is he trying to crush it, tear it apart, or is he desperately clinging to it. With his mask he isn’t immune to his poisonous frustration, but he isn’t aware of it.

I’m not sure it’s done and ready to paint/build though. I imagine I need some sort of candles and wall altar treatment as I am wont to do. Let’s see what pops up in my “doing” posts about this piece.

Hopeless Cases and Good Graces

Dick Van der Wurst on July 1, 2020

So I got this commission. Not just for a painting but for a custom niche wired with electricity and anything else I could convince them was necessary. I could have worked some plumbing into it perhaps but no, just the tiles and electricity.

They were interested in a slightly irreverent religious painting of their favorite saint, St. Jude. He needed to be holding their favorite tequila and a High Life, offering them to the viewer as if he recognized YOU as a lost cause in need of a beer and a shot.

I did some research on the worship (adoration is thinly veiled idolatry, let’s not kid ourselves) of St. Jude in Mexico. There is a church in Mexico City that features the image of Jude over a field of blue and white tile, so I figured the niche could have some tile of its own. Many tiles were considered. The sugar skulls motif can be overdone and a bit obvious for applications such as this, but damn it if these didn’t have just the right about of high contrast patterning without being too busy.

Not only did I mock up how the assembled painting look on the tile, I designed the niche to fit the tile without the need for cutting. I also diagrammed the wiring for it to be lit from above and a socket to power the flicker flame light bulb on Jude’s head.

I spent some time reading about St. Jude and how in Mexico he isn’t just associated with lost causes, but because he a lesser saint often confused with Judas, he is said to be a better advocate for juvenile delinquents and criminals who need a saint who will pray extra hard on their behalf. All of this made me think that St. Jude might have a little attitude, with wry smirk and raising an eyebrow as if he knows what a fuck you can be. The face I’m painting a mixture of random internet images, Danny Trejo, Russel Brand and Jesus. In fact the robes and hair are just a painting of Jesus. I turned the regal red robes green, superimposed a rich paisley pattern on the green and added a Jesus medal on a *bling*bling* gold rope chain.

All told I think I photoshopped together about 20 different elements to create the collaged comp you see here. Two hands, shot glass, the logo on the shot glass, the beer, the body with the left arm rotated a bit, the medal covering up the original’s sacred heart, the gold rope chain, Danny Trejo’s face with a less prominent brow, some other guy’s eyes (all Christian saints have to have blue eyes) and parts of Russel Brand’s beard…as well as the halo, bulb, bird, fire and rays. And let’s not forget the parting clouds. It’s a very complicate piece that highlights so much of what I learned as a good Catholic School boy.

As they say, “Progress Over Perfection.” But I hate it when they say that even if it’s true.

So all I really have left to do is the top of the bottle and the face and there is always another pass necessary to get all the details just so. I just spent an hour touching up the Jesus medal a little bit. After all that I’ll just need to put it together.

The thought of painting that face has me shook. I’m a little worried about getting the expression just right. I guess faces with character and lines and shadows are easier than smooth soft faces. If so, then Danny Trejo’s modified mug should be a breeze.
