Raymond Pettibon

"In No Title (But the sand...), a wave of gigantic proportions forms a high, foamy peak against a flat, dark-blue ocean with no land visible on the horizon.
Multicolored surfboards without their riders are caught in free-fall down the side of the wave.
A text is inscribed at the bottom-left: "But the sand or clay to which by one or the other process we are reducible are turned to glass and foam."
No Title (But the sand...) presents one of Pettibon's largest works on paper with this subject matter."
Auction sale price: $820k


No Title (From life to...)

You Need This

Opening Ceremony has a Raymond Pettibon beach towel for sale.
Pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, wouldn't you agree?
Thanks to Megan for the heads up.

Regen Projects_RAYMOND PETTIBON

Says Regen Projects press release:
"Pettibon's drawings seek to attract the spectator's attention through their use of a familiar vernacular iconography that is already well established in the popular imagination, one that displays the emblems of optimism and bravery in a kind of equivalent to progress, the revelation of a social subconscious in which sin and pain dwell. In his illustrations, the perfectly-delimited roles of hero and villain become confused and interchanged, introducing a new relativism that calls into question society's established values and immovable vision. "
Show closes this weekend.
