Biographie de l'auteur :
Design guru and art collector Todd Oldham shines the spotlight on the clever and warped world of artist Wayne White. From Wayne s early days as a production designer and puppet maker for the iconic TV show Pee-wee s Playhouse to his unmistakable and exquisitely rendered text paintings, this monograph is a comprehensive view of Wayne White s oeuvre. Wayne is a unique wordsmith, brilliantly juxtaposing irreverent and humorous phrases over existing thrift store paintings that together create a completely original and fictional landscape. Influenced by both his upbringing in rural Tennessee and a very sophisticated knowledge of art history, Wayne White s sensibility is completely singular and distinctive. Wayne White s warped and perspectival words integrate into seemingly benign pastoral landscapes, creating a completely surreal experience. Wayne s expert painting chops and detailed attention to lighting and reflection place the new text directly in its original setting. Text paintings such as Donald Judd was a Son of a Bitch Wrecked His Train in a Whorehouse Ditch, Poon, and Maybe Now I ll Get the Respect I So Richly Deserve are a welcome departure from the more-often-than-not self-aggrandizing art world. In fact, we think this sumptuous monograph is FANFUCKINTASTIC!
