Kick Against the Pricks

Mel Bochner's Crazy (With Background Noise), screen print with chaotic text in bold colors against black, layered over graffiti-like background.

Every piece is a UNIQUE variant; Screen print with black enamel; Hand signed and numbered. Unique variant. // Crazy (With Background Noise) by Mel Bochner is a vibrant and provocative screen print from 2018, showcasing his signature use of text as both a visual and conceptual element. This unique variant, signed and numbered by the artist, features a cacophony of words synonymous with insanity, such as LOOPY, DIZZY, NUTTY, and BATTY, all layered in bold, colorful fonts across a black background. Each word seems to compete for attention, creating a dizzying effect that embodies the chaotic nature of the subject. Beneath the black enamel, hints of a colorful, almost graffiti-like background noise seep through, adding depth and complexity. Bochner’s work challenges viewers to confront language's impact on perception, particularly in how words shape and distort understanding. This limited edition piece is a striking example of Bochner’s exploration of text, psychology, and visual overload.
