John Brown & Michael Krueger: Nuts and Gum

John Brown creates countless tiny images drawn or stamped on paper, then cuts them out and pieces them together in a tightly bound mass. His work is like a collage version of obsessive scribbling, with tiny objects crowded together in an almost pointillist manner. Viewed from a distance, "Pandemonium" appears to be a large pie-like image—only on closer inspection can you see the jumble of human figures that make up the whole. Michael Krueger superimposes lithographic images over actual pages from his original high school yearbook, reflecting the unrest and paranoia of the post-Vietnam era, with visual references to heavy metal, decadence and nihilism.
