"The Truth Means Nothing" New Works by Brandon Harrison

Categories:

In 1799 Spanish artist Francisco Goya published a controversial body of work known as Los Caprichos; a series of 80 aquatint prints that condemned the decline of rationality that was prevalent in Spanish society. Bank collapses, monetary disparities between the rich and the poor and increasing militarization of the police have created an atmosphere of increasing tension and frustration for the average person. Artist, Brandon Harrison has decided to delve deep into the deterioration of our present condition and present a visual dialogue about the nefarious and disconnected forces behind politics, religion, and law enforcement and the psychological impact these forces impose upon our society. “The Truth Means Nothing” is a collection of brand new works from artist Brandon Harrison meant to emulate Los Caprichos with respect to their classical composition, but also to reference contemporary atrocities and social injustices.

Artist ( Description ): 
Brandon Harrison (b. 1973) is an American artist based in Long Beach California whose intention is to comment on and analyze contemporary popular culture, politics and social injustices through the artistic mediums of fine art and graphic design.
