Born in 1957 in Tucson, Arizona, Pettibon lives and works outside of Los Angeles, where he has been an influential figure in the arts community since the early 1980’s. Pettibon is perhaps the most prominent contemporary American artist to concentrate on drawing as his primary medium. To his early admirers and collectors, he was an unofficial in-house artist for the punk music scene of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, and the creator of photocopied booklets that he sold for one or two dollars. Today his work is widely admired among the contemporary art audience and has avid devotees in the international field of drawing connoisseurs. While his style initially relied on the conventions of cartoon illustration, over the years he has developed an entirely personal approach marked by a uniquely sophisticated relationship between image and text. |
