Raymond Pettibon — No Title (It Took Him a Minute to Recover from the Sense of Being Pierced)
Raymond Pettibon

No Title (It Took Him a Minute to Recover from the Sense of Being Pierced)

1987

A frenetic ink drawing by Raymond Pettibon combines his signature densely scrawled text with raw, expressive figuration on paper. The work channels Pettibon's punk-influenced aesthetic, weaving literary and psychological tension into bold, spontaneous linework. His characteristic handwritten phrase embedded within the composition blurs the boundary between image and narrative, evoking a visceral moment of physical and emotional vulnerability.
