Hero](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/Fudge-Everyone-Had-a-Theory-as-to-Why-III-2002_1-hero.jpg) Carl Fudge Everyone Had a Theory as to Why, 2002 (detail) Description Carl Fudge will exhibit new paintings and prints at the Feldman Gallery, opening on April 27. Based on the transformation of Japanese contemporary Pop and historical sources, the compositions are seemingly abstract but contain images of robots, a woman, and erotica. Fudge complicates the visual reading of the object, the relationship between abstraction and representation, and challenges the hierarchies of the aura of the hand-made versus the culture of the copy. He uses an elaborate process that combines technology and meticulous hand cutting, drawing, and painting.
