RYAN GOOD: Blood Stains the Roots of the Palm Trees in Venice
Parapet Real Humans is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by the Los Angeles based artist Ryan Good (*1979) The exhibition will open with an artist talk on Wednesday, August 24th at 6pm with Cole Root. The exhibition will remain on view until September 10th 2016.
Acting as a visual extension of his text based artist book “Sounds Good, 1,000 Ideas by Ryan Good”, the exhibition presents dense content rich collages made of drawings and found illustrations that are humorous, sexual, and grotesque. Violent scenes challenge the viewer to confront the absurdity of the self. By visualizing these ideas, Good’s drawings diagram and propose an open-source idea economy. Good provokes the audience to further investigate or actualize his concepts, and poses the question of what can be possible if our unrestrained thoughts are available for public consumption.
