Todd Gray: Pop Geometry
The Butler Institute of American Art
Dec. 23, 2024 - Feb. 17, 2019
Comprised of approximately 20 mixed media wall and floor sculptures, this exhibition from Todd Gray revisits the Pop Era with a distinct currency and impact when considered from a contemporary perspective. The works all have in common imagery from classic American pop art, comic book exclamations, emoji’s, and hashtags with a dynamic kick of bold colors, animated patterns, and diverse fonts. With this body of work, Todd Gray appropriates the imagery of Warhol, Lichtenstein and others, reprising the original pop artists’ method of sampling images from the media world, celebrating and questioning these icons, then remixing them into something personal and original. This exhibition was organized by Katharine T. Carter & Associates.
