Head Heaps, by Nudd and Onsmith
Head Heaps
by Nudd and Onsmith
This Spring, Paul Nudd and Jeremy Onsmith were invited to be our Artists-in-Residence. During their stint at Spudnik Press, they created three separate suites of prints that meld these two artists’ signature styles into a cartoonish netherworld of darkly comic doom.
Lee Ann Norman from Art Talk Chicago writes, “Through their “exquisite corpse” like creative process, Paul and Jeremy found a way for their very different drawing styles to complement each other. Paul’s organically flowing shapes freed up Jeremy’s precise renderings, while Jeremy’s precision encouraged Paul to make more defined shapes, creating images elegantly grotesque, ridiculously divine, and humorous to boot.”
This week, our store is featuring Head Heaps, a suite of quadruple-stacked heads that form a menacing totem pole. The suite is printed on dark brown and grey paper with yet darker ink. It comes in a belly-band, also designed and printed by Nudd and Onsmith. This work is printed in an edition of 40.
Paul Nudd recently had a highly acclaimed show at Western Exhibitions. To see Onsmith’s latest work, check out his blog.
