Description
Jerry Kunkel is Professor Emeritus from the University of Colorado at Boulder (1969-2006).
This work features a major format change from the more traditional “snapshot space” of my former still life paintings to a panoramic, more linear and sequential presentation of images. Similar to earlier paintings, this work is loaded up with, even overwhelmed by, a multitude of images that function as triggers to a cultural memory or collective consciousness – references to pop culture, everyday activities, the unexplained, the curious twist, the symbolic, textual cues – forever harking back to the commonplace, the everyday.
