NYAB Event - Carl Fudge "Dazzle"

This event has ended.
At Ronald Feldman Fine Arts
Media: Prints

Carl Fudge, who combines digital technology with traditional art-making techniques, will exhibit unique prints that range from the monumental to the miniature. In his new series, Dazzle, he reconfigures woodcuts by Edward Wadsworth, a member of the short-lived British art movement called the Vorticists (1914-15). The Vorticists promoted a British brand of modernism which stressed geometric abstraction and the hard-edged precision of mechanical forms. Fudge further abstracts Wadsworth’s abstracted subjects – industrial scenes of North England and Dazzle ships, which were patterned with designs to confuse the enemy in World War I. Approaching abstraction conceptually, Fudge suggests correspondences between the utopian vision of the Industrial Age and our current infatuation with digital technology.
