Piece
(2011)
Archie Scott Gobber
(American, born 1965)
Enamel on canvas
Archie Scott Gobber makes art with words. Piece could refer to a "piece of art" a phrase often used in art historical texts, or it could recall other meanings for viewers. By superimposing the word piece over a peace sign, Gobber suggests that words are rarely straightforward. "Ultimately," the artist says, "my work seeks to engage the viewer as a partner in an ongoing dialogue while realizing the goal of the artwork is what it conjures."
Somehow this reflects the cynicism it’s time, or maybe it is my cynicism 😊

It should be spelled “Peace,” but the world doesn’t have any real peace…
