Yeah I think people buy into the comprehensive system bit - covers all bases but gets way thin in the process.
We like! Here's a link BTW.
He's always struck me as a latter day Paolozzi in some ways. Do you know
those Paolozzi screen prints where he just collages all kinds of photos/graphics? Tyson is really the successor to that globalist ambition - except that he runs through a few lazy painting tropes as well. People don't seem to mind the banality because of the lofty sentiments.
Look! Art and science intersecting! Look! Politics and Ethics overlap! You see! Graphics really is just the thin end of the wedge for fine art!...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Naturally he won The Turner Prize for Political Correctness at some point....
It's like a designer's dream of what painting or art will do - as if there were this one way of putting everything in the same perspective. There was a lot of this stuff going around in the 80s actually - a kind of hyper-ecclecticism - call it PoMo. Rauschenberg for teachers. Think Kippenberger on more of a digitial tip. But not even Kippenberger would get into that kitsch poured paint 'nature' abstraction bit.
If you like that sort of thing Barnaby Furnas does it much better.
