Four Works: (i) The Symbol of Weakness Begins To Turn Into A Symbol of Strength (ii) I'm Glad You Walked In, and Not Your Twin (iii) This Cross Is Made Of Fat (iv) Dr. Kinsey

1987

Four ink-on-paper works by Raymond Pettibon showcase his signature blend of raw, gestural draftsmanship and sharp, literary text. Each piece combines densely scrawled imagery with fragmented narratives that oscillate between dark humor, cultural critique, and psychological unease. The works reflect Pettibon's ongoing interrogation of American mythology, desire, and identity through a punk-inflected, confrontational visual language.
