Mark Grotjahn
This poster featuring a drawing from Mark Grotjahn’s Face series (2003–) was produced in 2009, in conjunction with Mark Grotjahn at Gagosian, Britannia Street, London. The exhibition included new paintings from the artist’s Butterfly and Face series. Roughly painted on cardboard, with sections often cut away to reveal painted canvas beneath, the Face paintings compel with their strident tones, scratchy textures, and cartoonish faces that loom from the surface. Inspired by Picasso’s primitivist explorations, they resemble tribal masks and other ritualistic totems. The poster is available signed and unsigned.
