Lorraine O'Grady's Cutting Out CONYT 5 diptych with cut-out text fragments on Japanese paper, addressing themes of desire and consumerism.

Letterpress printing dipthych on Japanese paper, cut-out, collage on laid paper, each sheet hand signed, numbered and dated by the artist. // Cutting Out CONYT 5 by Lorraine O'Grady is a mixed-media diptych created from 1977 to 2017. This limited edition print (12 + 1 AP) utilizes letterpress printing on delicate Japanese paper, with each piece featuring hand-cut collaged text fragments arranged on laid paper. The selected text snippets, such as How to get the one thing everyone wants most in life and Are you thinking about plastic surgery? offer a thought-provoking reflection on societal expectations, desires, and the subtle ways in which messaging shapes perception. The sparse arrangement of phrases and the minimalistic aesthetic allow each statement to resonate individually, amplifying the underlying commentary on consumerism and self-image.

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
