Constructive Abandonment

Sobre el libro Constructive Abandonment de Michael Dumontier & Neil Farber publicado por Drawn & Quaterly al 2011:

FROM TWO OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE INFLUENTIAL COLLECTIVE, THE ROYAL ART LODGE Constructive Abandonment is a series of small paintings featuring surreal vignettes with animals and children weighed down by the pressures of life. With absurdly comedic interactions, the text varies from straightforward to even more abstract and nonsensical than the images that it accompanies. The paintings end up reading like absurd fine art gag strips, with certain paintings obviously referencing child´s play or literature and others seemingly without reference, completely untethered.
