About The Artist
Considered both a philosophical and historical artist, Rodney Graham has worked across a variety of media, including photography, music, sculpture, books, and painting. His work often examines social, historical, and philosophical systems as well as literature and popular culture. Graham also commonly employs repetition and doubling devices in his art to examine the concept of originality and to question awareness.
Featuring irony and puns, Graham's work often borrows from other sources, reinterpreting them visually to incorporate the comical and the illogical. His work is internationally known, and he is currently represented by galleries in London, New York, and Zurich.
