Glen Baxter

    Glen Baxter je známý svými absurdními kresbami, jejichž celkový dojem často připomíná literární nonsens. Jeho díla, inspirovaná brakovou fikcí a dobrodružnými komiksy, spojují umění a jazyk s intelektuálními vtipy. Jednoduché kresby často zobrazují postavy jako kovboje, gangstery nebo badatele, kteří pronášejí nesourodá prohlášení o umění a filozofii, čímž vytvářejí jedinečný a provokativní styl.

      Glen Baxter's art appeals to a universal sense of the ridiculous. His drawings fuse the familiar with the absurd and breathe life into verbal and visual cliches, whether literary, social or cultural. This book brings together 35 of his artworks.

      Since failing to win the Nobel Prize in 2001, Glen Baxter disappeared to a remote hillside fort in Holland to continue his research on vole classification. Some ten months later, he made his way to Soho Square where he was reported to be in possession of a fustian-lined hamper containing a manuscript that was to be labelled: Trundling Grunts.

      Another collection of bizarre artworks from the illustrator of "The Collected Blurtings of Baxter". This time the collection is prefaced with a short story, "Erina Tries to Be Popular", which, not surprisingly, has no connection whatever with the artworks which follow it.
