Description
This artwork is a minimalist, monochromatic sculpture in a vibrant red hue. The rectangular form, with its clean lines and simple geometric composition, creates a striking visual impact.

Sam Pulitzer
Sam Pulitzer works in photography, drawing and installation, and consistently couples these mediums with written text. Through manipulating the visual tropes and language of advertising, particularly billboard campaigns, Pulitzer teases out the philosophical or poetic aspects of his chosen imagery.

By flipping normative corporate registers, Pulitzer subverts expectations and prompts audiences to perceive an image through broader socio-political terms. Common themes which surface in his practice are alterity, tensions between insiders and outsiders, authorship and the politics of looking. His lyrical titles heighten the innate criticality within each work. Sometimes playful in tone, sometimes more hard-hitting, Pulitzer unearths hubris and contradictions within contemporary society, with artists such as Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer undeniably influencing his melding of language and image. ...
