RAYMOND PETTIBON
April 8 - May 6, 2006
Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 - 6:00 pm
Opening reception: Saturday, April 8, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Regen Projects is pleased to announce a new exhibition of drawings by
Raymond Pettibon. One of the most influential artists to emerge from
southern California, Pettibon's drawings pull freely from a range of
sources including music, politics, religion, art history, sex,
sports, movies, and comic books. His thematic range is increasingly
topical, addressing current political concerns and events. Pettibon's
work is generally characterized by a profuse output of monochromatic
graphic-style drawings done in ink on paper, sometimes mixed with
crayon, pencil, or watercolor and usually incorporating text borrowed
from literature and other sources or original text written by the
artist. In recent years, Pettibon's style has become more fluid and
expansive, resulting in room-size wall drawings and installations.
Raymond Pettibon's work has been the subject of several major
exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia, and the U.S. Two large surveys
of Pettibon's drawings will be held this year at the CAC Malaga,
Spain and the Kunsthalle Wein, Vienna. Recent solo exhibitions
include the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY;
Museion-Museo D'Arte Moderno e Contemporanea, Bolzano, Italy; MACBA,
Barcelona, Spain; and the MAK Center, Vienna, Austria. Pettibon was
the recipient of the 2004 Bucksbaum Award awarded by the Whitney
Museum of American Art, New York, NY; the 2001 Wolfgang-Hahn-Prize
awarded by the Ludwig Museum, Cologne, Germany; and the 1991 Louis
Comfort Tiffany Foundation Awards in Painting, Sculpture,
Printmaking, Photography, and Craft Media.
A new artist's book, Turn to the Title Page, was produced in
conjunction with Pettibon's recent exhibition at the Whitney Museum
of American Art, New York. Monographs of Pettibon's work have been
published by the Museo d'arte moderna e contemporanea Bolzano,
Bolzano, Italy; the MACBA, Barcelona, Spain; Phaidon, New York;
Verlag der Buchhandlung Walter Konig, Koln and D.A.P., New York; and
the Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Renaissance Society, Chicago.
An opening reception for Raymond Pettibon will take place on
Saturday, April 8th, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at the gallery. For further
information please contact Shaun Caley Regen or Lisa Overduin.
