Description: 'I Would Button up My T-shirt if I Could' consists of 142 collages, cutouts, paintings and drawings. The body of work is accompanied by commissioned essays by the German art critic Hanna Magauer and the Norwegian curator and art historian Steinar Sekkingstad. "At the base of these collages are clippings from printed media, from gossip magazines to architecture journals, or advertisements from Fendi to Versace, Rolex watches and diamond bracelets, crossword puzzles and tribal tattoos. Combined with abstract gestural painting and figurative, caricaturesque line drawings, one could see it as a collision of tastes, a deliberate confrontation of contradictory aesthetic codes"--Hanna Magauer.
