没有其他艺术家像雷蒙德·佩蒂本那样,把现代美国的东西拆散-然后一起拆散。这位纽约艺术家最著名的是他的漫画书风格的图画,上面堆满了充满激情的文字,他兴高采烈地欣赏着颠覆性的作品,从火车、电影黑帮到冲浪和棒球运动员。
这些主题再次出现在佩蒂邦在伦敦的萨迪科尔斯的第六次展览中,在那里画廊的原始空间里充满了一系列新的图画,它们将我们带入了Pettibon黑暗而扭曲的世界。展览的标题是“Bakersfield到Barstow到库卡蒙加到霍利伍德”,这是一个虚构的穿越加利福尼亚的旅程,然而,这里总是有一些更邪恶的东西在这里上演。
佩蒂本1957年出生于亚利桑那州的图斯康,在加州长大,毕业后获得了经济学学位,然后进入洛杉矶朋克舞台,为“黑旗”(由他的兄弟创办,佩蒂本曾短暂地涉足贝斯手)和“音速青年”等人创作专辑和商品艺术品。他的反文化肖像仍然是他今天艺术实践的核心。
伦敦展览中的一些作品探讨了遭遇的概念-“性关系、运动场对峙”-以暴力、绝望和不满情绪为基础。在“无标题”中(他正在寻找…)佩蒂本的笔触在大画布上爆炸,与他所描绘的大海一样疯狂-一个孤独的冲浪者看起来被吞没了。
他说,‘所有这些封闭的字段…硬边,软边,平边。它衡量了什么,它最终说了什么?它从世界上剔除了存在的复杂性,我在我所画的每一幅该死的图画中都会处理这些问题。派提本的作品将绘画、拼贴、漫画和诗歌与直观的流畅性融为一体-在这种情况下,一种流派的结束和下一种类型的开始几乎是不可能找到的。
佩蒂本对恐怖和无政府状态的偏爱让观众们感到不安,但最终还是得到了回报。其中一幅画是一个人的笔墨肖像,他的头向后倾斜,眼睛紧闭着,宣称:“一个灯泡在他的脑袋里熄灭了:世界末日。”不管多么巧合,这是一个令人痛心的宣言,它再合适不过了,也不适合伦敦目前的气氛。
