RAYMOND PETTIBON

22 September - 3 December

CAC Málaga presents a retrospective exhibition of work produced over the last decade by the American artist Raymond Pettibon, one of the most influential figures on today's art scene. The project brings together a total of 278 drawings and paintings, including examples of Pettibon's series and most recurrent themes, creating a fascinating combination of text and image. Two animations will also be shown as part of the show, works that give Pettibon's illustrations movement, accompanied by sound and voices off. These form an excellent complement to the figurative works, echoing their thematic concerns.

Pettibon's work takes a critical look at North American society, focusing on typical elements in the popular culture, from more marginal aspects to art, literature, sport, religion, music, film, politics and sexuality. The 280 pieces showcased at CAC Málaga, produced between 1996 and 2006, invite the spectator to reflect on the course of history and its repercussions on all aspects of today's world. For the most part featuring paper and ink cartoon stories, the paintings of this artist, who lives in California, allude particularly to aspects of everyday life on the west coast of the United States.
