The 4th Seige by Richard Rigg
Paintings by Lauren Lancaster were juxtaposed neatly with conceptual pieces by Richard Rigg in Workplace Gallery's booth at Expo Chicago 2012.
Lancaster's striking, poster-like paintings recall bygone eras in modern form. Rigg's work is the sort of art that infuriates some.
"That is just a FLASHLIGHT, lying on the floor." they shriek in indignation.
That's true.
But isn't it fabulous to perplex and anger people? It really is, admit it. I have followed perplexed tourists around the Georges Pompidou Centre or the Tate Gallery in my youth and what is more fun than that. I don't even care (personally) about the theory or thought behind the art. I like things that vex people.
