Painter. His highly idiosyncratic drawings have taken him from
Los Angeles underground folk hero to the top of the international
art world. His pen and ink drawings, with quirky fragments of
handwritten text and cartoon-like imagery, quote sources as
diverse as the cartoon character Gumby and nineteenth-century
literature. Pettibon’s work juxtaposes an aggressive rawness
with an oddly poetic, even metaphysical, sensibility. These
wildly ironic, deadpan dramas feature an ensemble of luminaries
from L.A.’s post-punk underground. Pettibon’s work
has been shown all over the world.

Raymond Pettibon.
1957, EEUU. Reside y trabaja en California.
Pintor. Los dibujos a lápiz y tinta, con reminiscencias
del cómic y de la literatura del siglo XIX, le han llevado
desde el underground de Los Angeles a convertirlo en una figura
relevante del mundo del arte internacional. Son famosas sus
portadas de discos de las bandas del post-punk de finales de
los 70 y principios de los 80. Su trabajo ha sido exhibido en
todo el mundo.
