"All You Need Is LIKE" by Matthew LaPenta, by shibby on Feb 6, 2014 22:41:29 GMT 1, Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you a heads up on a new print that will be available next week at 411posters Store:
โAll You Need Is LIKEโ by Matthew LaPenta
-20" x 20" 4-color Screenprint -Hand-deckled edges -Signed/Numbered edition of 85 -Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra Pearl White Cotton Rag -$60 -Sale link: 411posters.bigcartel.com/product/all-you-need-is-like-by-matthew-lapenta
On sale Tuesday, February 11th at 9am PST.
โI wanted to create a work that referenced the past but was talking about something modern. In my opinion, LIKE has seemingly infiltrated every part of the internet and our culture. And has changed itโs own meaning in an interesting way.
When looked at abstractly, the internetโs ever expanding ability to create shorter attention spans has prohibited us from loving. Instead we like. We donโt become dedicated to one particular person or thing. We, as a generation, have a vast interest. Which can be looked at as a good or bad thing. And it is my goal for the viewer to examine their real world and digital relationships in our contemporary culture.
In short we have too many things we โlikeโ distracting us from things we love. The original canvas painting I created was inspired by Robert Indianaโs famous LOVE sculptures/ paintings.โ โ Matthew LaPenta
