KENDELL GEERS
IN FUCK WE TRUST, 2007
Silk screen print on paper

numbered and signed
Edition 100 + 20 e.a.
Kendell Geers, an artist born in South Africa, describes himself as a "Terrorealist". His art makes use of the radical formal language of violence and pornography, but as a subtext it runs an intelligent system of references, often based on language and word-images, integrating quotations from art and mass culture – and leaving nothing to chance. His poster is covered with an allover based on reflections of the word "FUCK".
