Tom Burr at Franco Noero
Drunk Emily

Tom Burr at Franco Noero

Tom Burr owns the foppish gesture, regardless whether he birthed. Despite it’s cliche as “emblem of Contemporary Art,” Burr’s dramatized version is the best. The objects obtaining a cartoon caricature-esque quality, iPhone icons of contemporary art, somehow losing the sharp imperfection of real objects. The reckless arrangement attains a rigidness opposing the lesser artists' rigid attempts to feign recklessness. The starch pressed severity make the attenuation towards the diaristic details all the more fetishistically perverse and good.
