over dit werk
In his typical raw & comic-like style, Raymond Pettibon’s work from the 1980s critiques the hypocrisies of society, taking on themes like sex, violence, religion, and American idealism. This untitled 1985 drawing reflects on desire and identity within a patriarchal and hetero-normative culture. Combining image and text in his signature style, Pettibon exposes the emotional and psychological tension around gender roles, forbidden desire, and fractured identity.
Raymond Pettibon’s untitled drawing is currently on view as part of On Becoming – our first show at Cabanon.

over Raymond Pettibon
Raymond Pettibon is known for a prolific corpus of drawings characterised by certain enduring themes – baseball players, surging trains, waves, political figures and film-noir encounters. Ranging in scale and subject, Pettibon’s drawings hone in on certain objects, incidents or vistas, depicting modern America from a myriad of angles whilst ambiguously severing these images from a narrative context. Fragments of handwritten text – placed alongside or threaded within the imagery – add multiple shades of meaning and irony. At once personal and universal, Pettibon’s works blur the categories of art history – compressing elements of painting, cartoons, poetry, the novel, and polemics.
