To Be Seen

Following on from my last West Coast entry, this weekend saw the opening of Los Angeles-based gallery Honor Fraser's exhibition, Andy Warhol: Camouflage. The military-inspired work which Warhol injected with bright and fluorescent colourways were only publicly exhibited six years after the artist's death. Now instantly familiar as a Warhol-staple, Honor Fraser offers a rare chance to view the silkscreen prints with Warhol's trial proofs and sketches in pencil. I always find myself looking at the Camouflage paintings for colour inspiration and it is so easy to lose yourself following the fluid forms and gradients that are more seductive than cryptic.
