Jonathan Monk: Rew-Shay Hood Project Part II

Visual Arts - 2D, Visual Arts - 3D, Visual Arts - Galleries

05/14/2009 - 09/06/2009 at Artpace - San Antonio

Venue Name: Artpace - San Antonio

Monk’s Artpace exhibition, Rew-Shay Hood Project Part II, consists of a series of airbrushed car hoods featuring images borrowed from Ed Ruscha’s artist book Twentysix Gasoline Stations. By re-presenting the book-based photographs in sculptural form, Monk transforms the former small scale of the images into something monumental. Moreover, each hood has its own particular shape, lending the work a sculptural physicality absent in the original. Finally, the photomechanical original becomes painterly in the airbrushed hoods, making them softer and more delicate than Ruscha’s project.
