Ed Ruscha

Comments Off on Ed RuschaTypography

edruscha1.jpg

“Born in 1937 in Omaha, Nebraska, Edward Ruscha was raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where his family moved in 1941. In 1956 he moved to Los Angeles to attend the Chouinard Art Institute, and had his first solo exhibition in 1963 at the Ferus Gallery. In 1973, Ruscha began showing his work with Leo Castelli Gallery in New York. He continues to live and work in Los Angeles, and currently shows with Gagosian Gallery.

Ruscha has consistently combined the cityscape of his adopted hometown with vernacular language to communicate a particular urban experience. Encompassing painting, drawing, photography, and artist’s books, Ruscha’s work holds the mirror up to the banality of urban life and gives order to the barrage of mass media-fed images and information that confronts us daily. Ruscha’s early career as a graphic artist continues to strongly influence his aesthetic and thematic approach.”

Ruscha’s work has been out their circulating the typographical ether for some time now but has never been mentioned on this site. You can still see his influence on a lot of the young illustrative typographers working today.

andreas gefeller

The photography of German photographer Andreas Gefeller is mechanical, strategic, elaborate, and downright “I-wish-I-had-thought-of-it-first!” His ability to deliver such extensive studies speaks volumes as a contemporary artist. Featured here is part of his series, Supervisions.

Italian artist Mauro Perucchetti is responsible for some of the most amazing, striking and provacative sculpture and object art that I have seen in some time. It’s a little bit of sex with a touch of violence mixed up with whole lotta pop. I think I like it.
