I Can't Apologise Enough.

By David Fullarton dfullarton

Staff_pick_sticker

These are grim times. We live in a world filled with cruelty, indifference, and pointless suffering. And then, to make matters worse, we stumble upon an artist like David Fullarton who seems to find our atrocious situation amusing. Laughing in the face of our anxieties, mocking our foibles and poking fun at the absurdity of modern existence, this is an individual with no respect for the seriousness of our malaise. And whilst the title of this dubious collection appears to offer us an apology on his behalf, one is left with lingering doubts over the sincerity of his regret.

About the Author

David Fullarton
dfullarton  San Francisco, California, USA.
To create his vibrant and humorous paintings, David Fullarton mines the notebooks he has filled with odd words, catch phrases, warnings, and instructions in foreign languages. Collaging text and images onto brightly colored grounds, Fullarton delights in lifting phrases and images from their contexts and placing them in new surroundings that amend and redirect their meaning. With decidedly adult humor, the work celebrates the strangeness of daily life, memorializes events from his own past, and gently mocks common human foibles. The casual freedom of Fullarton's compositions belie his formal artistic training and background in illustration and advertising copywriting. Fullarton studied drawing and painting at art college in his native Edinburgh then worked for ad agencies in Scotland before moving to San Francisco in 1995, where he now lives with his wife Lisa and their two children.
