Book
Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Cultural Writing. Art. Hybrids 1.0 - 3.5 presents the paintings of Los Angeles artist Paul Paiement. This uniquely designed double foldout book features over 50 color plates of Paiement's fascinating work along with an interview by Laguna Art Museum's Chief Curator Tyler Stallings and essays by renowned art writers Christopher Miles and Rebecca Neiderlander. Paiement's luminous paintings, of bugs and ordinary consumer products, combine the worlds of art, commodification, science fiction, and entomology with humor and wry social commentary. Utilizing traditional egg tempera and watercolor, Paiement delicately creates day-glo fantasy specimens isolated on pristine white backgrounds. According to Christopher Miles, 'Color becomes key as Paiement desaturates the images and overlays them with even layers of transparent color, as if we see black-and-white images through tinted glass that neutralizes difference.' Paiement has been exhibited extensively with his work continually garnering broader att Slight scratching/scuffing on cover. Book has minor shelf wear along edges. Sold as is.
