Baseman has been one of my favourite contemporary artist/ illustrators since I first saw his work. There’s something Surrealist about it which I suppose appeals to my nostalgia - I had a childhood obsession with Surrealism. Yet his work has a unique contemporary flavour. I enjoy the way he playfully expresses complex emotion through visceral often violent bodies of his characters. There’s perhaps a touch of Ralph Steadman there although the style is very different.
