This is way too awesome. They are beautiful paintings with wonderful looking letters! It’s almost perfect, and I love the cohesiveness.

I got his monograph this December. I’ve only had a chance to skim through it, but the work and developement is amazing.

i guess the landscapes are found paintings painted on?

  Don´t think they´re found paintings…he seems to have full control over the letterings within the landscape… and how light and shadow from each react together.
  
  the 7th one down glows around it…he owns every aspect of the painting.

    Tini is right. From a press release for one of his shows:
    
    Rather than a canvas, White paints on 1960s and 1970s thrift-store lithographic reproductions of 19th century Romantic landscape paintings, incorporating their kitsch iconography into the composition with both irony and national pride.

If these are found landscapes, I would easily believe the artist painted them anyway because of how well he handles the lettering.

This is a bit much like ronald kurniawan’s work wouldn’t you say??

I remember seeing these in my sculpture class last summer during a lecture. Pretty awesome stuff. You all should check out his installation piece from the Rice Gallery in Houston. http://www.ricegallery.org/new/exhibition/biglectricfan.html

His bio says: His most successful works have been the world paintings featuring over-sized, three-dimensional text painstakingly integrated into vintage landscape reproductions.

Fantastic work!

Very skilled work.. My problem isnt with the skill its with society. It seams that we can’t look at something beautiful without putting letters all over it.
Carlos Marco

He’s made some of these for Lambchop records, such as “Nixon”.

words with different meaning – interesting
Morgan

I don’t know why everybody is so excited. It looks totally like soviet conceptual artist Erick Bulatov:
