The artist will show a series of new, large-scale paintings and installation pieces dramatically inspired and conceptually informed by his obsession with the reproduced and constructed image. Remarkably original, Semple carries the Pop Art tradition to a new, highly relevant and provocative level. Writing in Artforum.com, critic Adam Ganderson described him as The offspring of Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons, as styled for MTV.
Semple dizzyingly reconceptualizes multiple fragments of cultural detritus and effortlessly synergizing the profane and the commodified to create startling new signification. Beyond the surface, beauty of the ever bright and enticing surreality of the Pop landscape is a secret dread that Semple innately understands and Semples compositions are infused with that dark foreboding.
They all have this idea of a failed moment or the collapse of a particular situation... they occupy this place where the tragedy has happened, where atomization and individualism have reached a peak and the individual is literally stranded. I think the key word for everything here might be entropy. - Stuart Semple
