FOSTER Johnston (b. 1978) - Lot 379
FOSTER Johnston (b. 1978)
Final Fantasy - 2009
Mixed media/assembly of salvaged materials such as fabric, plastic, carpet, laminated carpet backing on chipboard panel
(wear and dirt)
Height 190 cm - Width: 109 cm - Depth: 75 cm
Note: The artist is a North American sculptor whose artistic signature is the appropriation of salvaged materials and found objects, which he uses to transform them.
His sources of inspiration are drawn from both civilized and natural life. This confrontation has given rise to works that resemble cartoons, in which animal imagery takes the place of human beings, personifying emotions and concepts.
If Johnston Foster's work uses a visual language derived from Pop Culture and seems at first sight amusing, it is above all an expression of the artist's concerns about the contemporary Western world and its excesses.
