About the Ebook
Lawrence Fodor's recent paintings address the irony of art historically relevant works of art, having as their conceptual premise, irrelevant mythologies for the 21st century. Fodor appropriates and painstakingly translates these significant works with oil paint on paper and canvas, often times in pairs and in large scale. As a second phase he irreverently obliterates or eclipses the "underpainting" and its narrative, using paint and hand, in order to story forth—providing the ground and space for the viewer to invent and exchange new mythologies relevant for today and the future. This book is a catalogue of the Eclipse body of work with informative essays by the artist, Cyndi Conn, and Andria Friesen.
