Visual Art Closer
Posted by Jen Graves on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 4:15 PM
With Scott Fife's work, you need to get closer to see what it's really about. His sculptures are made of cardboard. This time around, at Platform Gallery, the sculptures (and a painting) are of Elvis and a T-Rex. Here they are seen in full.
I shot a few details this weekend so you could see their surfaces and their structures without all the unifying logic. They're collages, really.
Here's a painting of a woman that Fife abandoned, then reused for a jawline.
Out the mouth through the back of a dinosaur's skull.

@1. Well come over to the gallery and slap down your $4,000.00 to $40,000.00 smackers and you can take your favorite piece home with you! Is your home climate controlled? Cardboard hates moisture.
Personally, I find this work looks like so much kitsch and haven't we really overdosed on that?
