"The work of Grskovic tends toward the point of ridiculous. He takes viewers beyond irony to confront them with the improbability of representation, forcing them to consider the fundamental assumptions underlying utopian ideals.

By problematizing representation and making its process transparent, Grskovic sets up a dialogue between what we consider to be real and our propensity to idealize that reality."

“Family Portrait” (Detail) | Randy Grskovic

“The Power of Aluminum” | Randy Grskovic | Analogue Collage (14 copies of the same vintage magazine) 24” x 24”

This is another work from the same “Reoccurring Themes” series. I had found images that I imediately responded to and sourced as many of the originals as I could. This one depicts a manic old lady with an Chevy Impala loaded up with beer cans. I wanted to question resources with this artwork. At first glance it looks like a cloud of smoke from an old car but really it is a ridiculous amounts of cans piled sky high.

Currently on display at the Slide Room Gallery.

Big News.

If you’re in Vancouver next Saturday, June 2nd, and you like contemporary collage, please come to this group exhibit I’m in. I’ve got 4 pieces in this one and am showing with some of Canada’s best collage artists. This is going to be only the second show in the new space, so if you haven’t had a chance to check it out…it’s massive.

“Cut and Paste” will be an exhibit about collage, montage, assemblage, and pre-collage in Canada, with an emphasis on art from the West Coast. Their choice of exhibit is rooted in the nature of collage. It’s something that people often assume is a simpler operation with scissors and paper, but there’s a real history to back it up. Some of this history will be on display: artwork by Jack Shadbolt and Harold Town will be shown, as well as work by contemporary artists such as Etienne Zack, Renée van Halm, Paul Butler, Jason McLean, and Office Supplies Incorporated. Expect a multi-media aspect to the show
