Cutting Out CONYT 4

Lorraine O'Grady's Cutting Out CONYT 5 diptych with cut-out text fragments on Japanese paper, addressing themes of desire and consumerism.

Letterpress printing dipthych on Japanese paper, cut-out, collage on laid paper, each sheet hand signed, numbered and dated by the artist. // Cutting Out CONYT 5 by Lorraine O'Grady is a mixed-media diptych created from 1977 to 2017. This limited edition print (12 + 1 AP) utilizes letterpress printing on delicate Japanese paper, with each piece featuring hand-cut collaged text fragments arranged on laid paper. The selected text snippets, such as How to get the one thing everyone wants most in life and Are you thinking about plastic surgery? offer a thought-provoking reflection on societal expectations, desires, and the subtle ways in which messaging shapes perception. The sparse arrangement of phrases and the minimalistic aesthetic allow each statement to resonate individually, amplifying the underlying commentary on consumerism and self-image.

What is Lettrism?

Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
