Michael Craig-Martin : Alphabet

18 Sep-13 Oct 2012

East Gallery, Norwich University Of The Arts
Norwich NR2 4AE

Overview

Craig-Martin explores the iconography of everyday and designer objects. In Alphabet, visually arresting images are set against a background of vivid monochrome colours and overlaid with a single letter. In this series, created in his signature style, Craig-Martin plays with the idea of the ABC children’s primer. Instead of a direct 'A is for Apple', 'B is for Ball', the relationship between the letter and image is more ambiguous and requires some guess-work.
