Bruce Pearson

Deskripsi

In this chapter, also called "An Effective Low Cost Solution for Combatting Mind Control," David Humphrey interviews painter Bruce Pearson about his work and  how his music collection has grown over the years. Bruce shares his thoughts on psychedelia and appropriately, the idea of combating mind control in his practice. They also touch on the idea of hidden elements in his paintings, how he uses found text in his paintings, and whether or not Bruce has any guilty pleasure music. In this episode you'll hear music by The Boredoms.  Bruce Pearson makes distinctive and hypnotic works that push the limits of painting. Constructed on Styrofoam panels, his paintings are fields of sensuous color and intricately creviced surfaces, with visceral impact and optical effects.  Image: Hope and Comfort From the Other Side (2000), Courtesy of Bruce Pearson.
