This exuberant large scale painting by Mel Bochner features densely packed exclamatory slang words rendered in richly textured multicolored three dimensional letters against a deep black ground. The work belongs to Bochner's celebrated Thesaurus series in which he mines the English language for synonyms of superlative praise, stacking words like AMAZING, AWESOME, BREATHTAKING, GROOVY, KILLER, BITCHIN, and OMG into a jubilant cascade of vernacular enthusiasm. The tactile surface texture of the letters, achieved through heavy impasto application on velvet, creates a vibrant optical energy that rewards close inspection. This series is among Bochner's most sought after bodies of work and is held in major international collections.
