Opening Reception - Archie Scott Gobber: What I Meant to Say
November 17, 2012
Marty Walker Gallery is pleased to present What I Meant to Say, new paintings by Kansas City artist Archie Scott Gobber. Featuring his poetically provocative word paintings, the new works are donned with Gobber's signature succinct phrases, custom fonts, and punchy color combinations to create a verbal battlefield of inner thoughts, commercial-style signage, and propaganda. Enamel and gouache surfaces mimic hand-painted graphic signs of mid-20th Century while text phrases become an ambiguous, self-conscious voice of politics, socioeconomic class, and pop culture.
