"Growing up in southern California near the desert, Fred Tomaselli was influenced by both the manufactured unreality of theme parks and the music and drug counter-cultures of Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. His distinctive melding of these influences forms an updated, personalized, folk-driven vision of the American West. Although his work is deeply personal, its celebration of psychedelic and alternative modes of experience raises provocative questions and possibilities for understanding our inner and outer lives." "The artist's most comprehensive survey to date, with over 280 color illustrations, this book surveys Tomaselli's career from early experiments with sculpture and installation to recent paintings and prints that combine abstraction and current events. Fred Tomaselli includes new essays by Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson and Linda Norden, an excerpt from a work by David Shields, and an extensive interview with the artist by Ian Berry."--Jacket.
