Andy Warhol
Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris
The 13 works reunited here under the denominator 'Crude Icons' allow us to enter the most hidden part of the artist's studio. Sometimes they are studies of form, simple or repeated, drawn in graphite or painted with synthetic polymer on paper, sometimes they are complex collages, composed of graphite or silkscreen drawings and glued with coloured paper.
Galerie Chantal Crousel Following the show Shadows and Other Signs of Life in December 2007 Chantal Crousel Gallery is pleased to present a second series of works on paper – collages and drawings – by Andy Warhol.
The 13 works reunited here under the denominator Crude Icons allow us to enter the most hidden part of the artist’s studio.
Sometimes they are studies of form, simple or repeated, drawn in graphite or painted with synthetic polymer on paper, sometimes they are complex collages, composed of graphite or silkscreen drawings and glued with coloured paper. We are before the elaboration of a vocabulary of forms and colours, which are then later combined, superposed,repeated.
All the works have in common a wonderfully simple and confident stroke, rapid execution, vivacity, whose spontaneity is banished in the next step: impression, reproduction, repetition.
Among the works presented here, one recognizes several subjects that have become 'icons,' particularly Gem and Trucks.
On the occasion of this show, a catalogue Crude Icons will be published.
