GRAPHIC DESIGN, PAINTING
Geoff McFetridge’s New Show at Cooper Cole
*Graphics are an intermediate step between an image and the abstract
*Graphics are a mediator between things and abstraction
*Graphics are a delivery system for the abstract
*Graphics disguise abstraction as image
*Graphics organize abstraction (see above)
*Graphics make puzzles out of solutions
*Graphics monetize the abstract
*Graphics is abstraction done at a desk
*Graphics pull the world apart. Abstraction tears it up.
*Graphics are how we agree to see. Abstraction is an argument.
*Graphics are the memories we have of things. Abstraction is what things we do not remember look like.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
i agree4
