Since the mid-1990s Sarah Morris has been creating complex, geometric, abstract paintings derived from cityscapes and architectural detail, signs and symbols. To celebrate the Paralympic Games 2012 in London Morris has created an abstract representation of one of the city’s most iconic landmarks: Big Ben. The grids and vivid colours create a sense of dynamism and also may evoke images of athletic tracks, swimming lanes, and field markings.

MARTIN CREED, Work No. 1273, 2011

lithograph on 300 gsm paper

pubished by Counter Editions, London, UK
Martin Creed imposes simple rules on his creativity. He might create a painting using only paintbrushes bought in a multi-pack, or make only one mark a day with the same felt-tip pen until the whole paper surface is covered. Repetition, stacks, and intervals are familiar motifs in his work, along with ascending and descending structures. For Work No.1273, Creed has made five single brush marks using a palette derived from the Olympic colours. The marks are arranged in an ascending form that seems to represent an extended podium.

The own family is a recurring motive in the work of Gerhard Richter, opposite to newspaper clippings of people he doesn’t know and that he integrates in his paintings. He painted his first wife, Ema, he portrayed his daughter “Betty” as well as his “Uncle Rudi” and “Aunt Marianne”. The latter two family members were painted in relation to Nazi Germany.
The front page of the edition of the daily newspaper “Die Welt” depicts Richter’s second wife Sabine in a white bathrobe and his son Theo in a striped towel, although not recognizable. Painted in his renowned style of blurring a realistic image. Gerhard Richter remarked that it reminded him of Ingres’ painting ‘The Turkish Bath’ (the picture was taken in hotel “Waldhaus” in Sils-Maria).

This is one of the 16 signed and numbered posters named “Barber shop” (2009) by Glenn Ligon.
Glenn Ligon is at the forefront of a generation of artists who came to prominence in the late 1980s with conceptually based work that investigates the social, linguistic, and political constructions of race, gender, and sexuality. Originally, the posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets. The posters found audiences by chance, provoking questions or reactions, with no didactic component to the street campaign.

CIRCLE JERK: 16 artists, 16 posters |
| As the name implies Circle Jerk is an ad hoc group of queer artists lending each other a hand. What began in 2007 with an original group of 13 artists has grown to 16 participants. Each artist has contributed a work from their current production. There is no specific curatorial premise; nonetheless the works connect with a shared attitude.Participating artists include Andy Fabo, Brendan Fernandes, Bruce LaBruce, John Greyson, Daryl Vocat, Glenn Ligon, Stephen Andrews, Luis Jacob, David Altmejd, Chris Curreri, John McLachlin, Micah Lexier, Peter Kingstone, Will Munro, Ed Pien, and David Grenier.The posters were clandestinely distributed on the streets to coincide with Art Toronto 2009 in late October. There is no didactic component to the street campaign. The posters found an audience by chance, provoking questions or reactions. A signed, limited edition was a fundraiser for Art Metropole. The set is packaged in a custom-made portfolio carrying case printed with artists’ names and the title “Circle Jerk 2009” displayed in pink text. The edition has been produced in a very limited quantity of 50 sets of all 16 posters, full colour offset printed, signed and numbered. |
