Ed Ruscha: Paintings

This poster featuring Gal Chews Same Gum Since 1963 (2014) was produced in 2014, in conjunction with Ed Ruscha: Paintings at Gagosian, Rome. The exhibition included recent paintings in which the artist continues to meditate on the melancholy of the Psycho Spaghetti Westerns in complex pictures that conflate his signature elements with the visual devices, perspectival techniques, and refined atmospheres of old master paintings to depict the romantic road trip of youth reduced to roadside dystopia.
