Bruce Wall American B. 1954 Metro Freako No. 27 from the 1984 - 1987 Metro Freako collection; acrylic on foam and canvas 1985; signed, titled and dated verso 66 1/4 x 42 1/4 x 5 in. (168.3 x 107.3 x 12.7 cm.) Notes: This item does not qualify for in-house shipping. Please see our preferred shippers list for quotes or arrange for local pickup. https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-ship/ Artist Statement: I favor using a blend of painting, drawing, mixed media and found objects where the distinction between 2-D and 3-D elements is intentionally ambiguous. In the current series, Consonants, there is an exploration of the world of everyday consumer objects and toys using the alphabet as an organizational device. The resulting cacophony of forms set against a faux splash of silver with drips on the wall is a celebration of random association, form and color, and, perhaps, the ultimate absurdity of categorization itself. https://www.bruce-wall.com/new-page-2
