GT

GT by Gavin Turk presents a simple sticker-like rendering of the artist's initials in bold, graphic form, executed in acrylic on canvas. The work plays with notions of identity, authorship, and branding, reducing the self to a minimal logo-like mark. By treating his own initials as a readymade commercial emblem, Turk continues his ongoing interrogation of what it means to be an artist and the value placed on a signature or name.
