About The Work
This edition is a part of a publishing project by Rob Tufnell where artists created new works on the perforated paper commonly used for the distribution of LSD. Typically labeled with elaborate designs, this “blotter” paper provides a medium that at once looks back to the shamanic, drug-induced rituals of prehistory and to the signatory grid of Modernism. Here, Pop artist Thomas Bayrle–known for images that emerge from the serial repetition of consumerist products–uses a pattern of vinyl records to create a portrait of Fats Domino, the musician largely responsible for the transition from rhythm and blues to rock and roll.
