About the Item

Valley of the Gods, 2014-2015 Archival Pigment Print on Watercolor Paper Paper size 34 x 48 inches 86 x 122 cm Edition of 3 +1 Ap Vanishing Point — Monument Valley, Dead Horse Point, Grand Canyon Upturned relief patterns, sculpted out by the wind, water, and ice, dragging you down into the whirlpool of time, into the remorseless eternity of a slow-motion catastrophe. The very idea of the millions and hundreds of millions of years that were needed peacefully to ravage the surface of the earth here is a perverse one, since it brings with it an awareness of signs originating, long before man appeared, in a sort of pact of wear and erosion struck between the elements. Among this gigantic heap of signs - purely geological in essence - man will have had no significance. Jean Baudrillard, America, 1986 Andrew Erdos’ sculptures, videos, photography, and mixed-media installations explore themes related to time, light, and the sublime. His work investigates the complex relationship between humankind and its environment, and resonates with contemporary reflections led by philosophers and scientists to determine a new ontology in the age of the Anthropocene. Erdos’ overwhelming visual experiences weave together reflections on nature, culture, technology, science and religion. Drawing from his mastering of glass techniques, as well as from historical, mythical, and personal sources, Erdos constructs open narratives which results in a sensory overload for the viewer. Andrew Erdos, (b. 1985) graduated with a BFA from Alfred University. His work has been exhibited worldwide including Beijing China, St Petersburg Russia, London UK and throughout the United States. The youngest recipient of the Rakow Commission of the Corning Museum of Glass, Erdos' work is included in many private and museum collections including The New Britain Museum of American Art, CT, Toledo Museum of Art, OH and the Knoxville Museum of Art, TN. Erdos lives and works in New York City.
