Raymond Pettibon: The Books 1978-1998 (2000) – Raymond Pettibon
[Amazon.com] [FR] [DE] [UK]
Raymond Pettibon (born 1957) is an American artist who is:
“known for his comic-like drawings with disturbing, ironic or ambiguous captions. His subject matter is sometimes violent and anti-authoritarian. He works primarily in ink on paper and many of his drawings are monochromatic, although he sometimes introduces color through the use of crayon, pencil, or watercolor. In addition to his paper works, Pettibon has experimented with video art and has recently produced large art installations by arranging his paper works within a room in the context of larger drawings made on the walls of the gallery. ”
He also designed Sonic Youth’s album cover art for Goo
He is featured here thanks to my rereading of an early issue of Fringecore magazine. (who I just tried sending a mail, but it bounced, does anyone know how to contact them, especiall Dee?)
Pettibon’s work somehow reminds me of Antwerp artist Dennis Tyfus, especially works like this one.
Derek “Dee” Woodgate here. So happy to see some of the old stuff I produced for Fringecore Magazine and some great new stuff. I still use Fringecore reord label and music publishing and also limited book publishing. The last magazine was published on line in 2004. The Fringecore website is http://www.futurefrequencies.com. My email is below or derek@plutopiaproductions.com. I moved from Antwerp to Austin, TX in US in 2000. Now living in Atlanta, GA.
