Andrew Guenther "Recent Works on Paper (from the Last Five Years)"
Freight and Volume
This event has ended.
A simple premise, but not without his singular brand of humor and irony, as Guenther explores all the big themes of nostalgia, capitalism, utopia, sexuality, phenomena and death on a small scale and with his trademark light touch. Accompanying the exhibition in F+V's project space is a compact artist book printed for the occasion, "Hotdog in a Banana Costume" essentially a document of these drawings (which could be subtitled "Guenther's Greatest Hits, Volume 3") These are in many ways an extension of his prior show @ F+V of mixed media and installation entitled "Looking for Culture, Part 2". Andrew frames these drawings in handmade and recycled frames, sometimes with tongue-in-cheek reference to their art-historical origins. His untitled surreal "plate face", for example, is displayed in a simple black veneer, not unlike what one might find in a suburban den; others such as a 2010 untitled tropical scene are framed in elaborate moldings more appropriate to what would embellish an old-master drawing.
