Personalizing ICONICness
A continuation of my original Vintage Vogue series – these artworks are from the same place but addressed with a more up to date and darker attitude that more accurately links up to my own creative direction and influences.
While the purity of the original series is important to me adopting this approach opens up more avenues of exploration going forward.
“Audrey Art Conned”
‘Art In Theory’ (see detail photo below) is a book given to all art students and is the bible for the Postmodern Art movement, from Marcel Duchamp to the YBAs. it’s full of pretentious arty language that for me signifies the falseness at the heart of much of Modern / contemporary conceptual art (AKA Con Art).
This artwork expresses how I think that stuff seems to hoodwink young art students, turning them into (for lack of better words) fools, and is the root for the much of the incestuous B.S. that drives the Modern Art industry.
Ballpoint pen and paint on paper. 95x65cm. 2014.
