Item Description
Drawing, pencil on paper, 8.5 x 11 in.
Adam Thompson: "Though my work takes a variety of forms, the central thread is line drawing. Over the past several years, I have developed an archive of thousands of drawings, using a non-varying format and uniform line weight, and employing no color or shading. The sobriety of this Apollonian aesthetic gives way to a kaleidoscopic menagerie of imagery – weird juxtapositions, corny jokes, visual puns, art history references, puzzling abstractions, mixed-up half-sense of all sorts. The unity and simplicity of the diagrammatic language implies a continuity among the heterogenous content, eroding distinctions between real and imaginary, clever and dumb, conceptual and illustrative, high-brow and accessible, masterful and ham-fisted, etc. A huge range of themes runs through the work, but they are addressed in a loose, freewheeling fashion that allows for constant revision and reinvention."
