Provenance Private collection, Los Angeles (gift of the artist); Darrow Contemporary, New York Catalogue Essay Dennis Cooper: “So, in the case of surfing, it’s that you find the motif multiplicitous on a formal level, essentially?” Raymond Pettibon “Sometimes it is a visual interest, but it can also be the way something like surfing describes a society, and the people in it. I’ve done a lot of large drawings and prints of that imagery. It has that epic nature, that sublime nature that almost asks you to reproduce it full sized on the wall. So there are some images where I have reasons like that to do them again and again. But with something like Batman and Superman, for instance, they represent a lot more to me than Operaman, for instance. There’s a reason why I’m going to use them a lot. It’s what they represent to me.” (D. Cooper, “Interview: Dennis Cooper in conversation with Raymond Pettibon ” Raymond Pettibon New York, 2001, p. 25) Read More
