Scott Campbell “Paved With Good Intentions” At Gallery Reis
From the press release:
Gallery Reis inaugurates 2012 with a solo exhibition of recent works by New York-based artist Scott Campbell. In Campbell’s Singapore debut, he uses currency to transform tattoo subculture iconography into delicate and tempered work.
Campbell expands his use of cut currency, sourcing uncut sheets of US dollars directly from the United States Mint, to create large, intricate work with a sunken relief effect. These works employ the familiar blue-collar vernacular of tattoo flash-boards, and highlight that irony exists within that imagery.
