Carl Fudge [Carl Fudge](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/carl-fudge) Mar 20 – Apr 24, 1998 ![Fudge Cool Memory 1997 Detail Hero](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/Fudge-Cool-Memory-1997-DETAIL-hero.jpg) Carl Fudge Cool Memory, 1997 (detail) Description Carl Fudge will exhibit new paintings at the Feldman Gallery. The paintings appear as elaborate abstractions, unified fields of patterning with the existence of an almost imperceptible grid-like system as an organizing device. They vary in appearance from a delicate filigree of lines to a dense labyrinth playing with negative-positive space. Although abstract, the paintings are derived from the artist's reconstruction of seventeenth and eighteenth century Japanese erotic prints, the Ukiyo-e Shunga. The work suggests information overload in a technological age, the fact that excessive information results in the breakdown of meaning.
