Artists in conversation
Richard Prince
American · b. 1949
Prince similarly combines silkscreen, appropriated imagery, and mixed media on canvas to interrogate themes of consumerism and mass culture passivity. His layered approach to surface and meaning closely mirrors the critical consumer commentary in Spoon Fed Free.
Stash
American · b. 1973
Stash works extensively with spray paint, lacquer, and silkscreen on canvas, bringing street art aesthetics into a fine art context much like Leo Gabin does in this piece. His glossy lacquered surfaces and graphic layering techniques are directly comparable to Spoon Fed Free.
Retna
American · b. 1979
Retna fuses spray paint, acrylic, and silkscreen techniques on canvas to create densely layered works that bridge street art origins with fine art contemporary practice. His textural and conceptually loaded surfaces share the same multi technique ambition visible in Spoon Fed Free.
