- Description
-
"Todd Norsten transforms images and observations from his daily life and travels into painted meditations on the universal impulse to make a mark. Riffing on a throughline the artist has identified from ancient petroglyphs, to lovers’ initials carved into trees, to bathroom graffiti, Norsten absorbs visual culture all around us — roadside billboards, peeling paint on the side of a barn, hand-painted “Keep Out” signs, lottery advertisements — then translates and transforms these snippets and non sequiturs into sometimes earnest, often satirical works that give character to things that are transitory or ephemeral, elevating banal moments into subjects worthy of contemplation.”
