FULLER - Maps and other artworks
spécialement pour @mad_meg
J’ai été chercher à la poste un livre sur la carto qu’on m’a envoyé de Berlin (quelle surprise) et dans lequel on parle de Gareth Wood alias Fuller. j’ai pensé à l’œuvre de @mad_meg et j’ai aussi pensé que @mad_meg trouverait cette approche intéressante.
PS : et bien sur je découvre en même temps que je poste que mes ami·e·s ont déjà signalé cet artiste il y a trois semaines :)
London Town is a new map in the series. Drawing began in 2005 and was completed in 2015. It is a meticulously drawn, cryptic code, mirroring the city and its unmistakable vibe. Instantly recognisable not by the obvious landmarks, but by the hedonistic, enchanting chaos, crazy beautiful, ‘Too much’ metropolis that it is. The work is a mesmerising kaleidoscope to our association with youth, adolescence and progress into adulthood. Fuller lived, breathed and morphed into the capital to channel its character onto the map.
