The mustacheod figures and style of dress show inspiration from pornography of the 1970s and 1980s. The artist’s painterly style, where he renders space through wide expanses of unnatural color, recalls the Fauves of the early 20th century. His lewd figures, except when identified in the title, often remain anonymous due to their shadowed eyes and comical red noses. The artist works with several, consistent, ready-made sizes of bedsheets: queen, twin, half double, half twin, and pillowcase. Each painting plays with the vintage patterning of the sheets themselves, which Maslansky typically sources from thrift stores. Three-Squared (Queen Size Bed) (2017) uses the familiar grid, recalling both graphics of the era and the grid of Minimalism as a checkpoint for modernity.
