As part of his solo exhibit, North Park's Robert Xavier Burden expects to spend nearly 3,000 hours on his 12-by-8-foot 'Alien Painting'
For nearly 18 years, Robert Xavier Burden has dedicated his life to creating what he calls the world’s most ambitious paintings of the past 150 years.
Visitors can watch Burden gradually create his latest canvas on a wall inside the “Relics” exhibition. He’s been working on the canvas since the exhibit opened Feb. 18 and hopes to finish it by the time it closes June 4. He believes this painting will require from 2,700 to 3,000 hours of work. It’s a 12-by-8-foot piece called “The Alien Painting.” When complete, it will feature depictions of more than 180 space alien toys from pop culture history, ranging from Superman to E.T. to the Predator.
This is the second time Burden has painted live in San Diego. He also worked on his 12-foot-tall “Dinosaur Toys” painting at the 2016 Comic-Con convention. The dinosaur painting is featured in the “Relics” exhibit.
