Marcus Ratliff: “The Ladies Room”
\n17 May-1 July 2017<\/h2>\n

BigTown’s Projects Gallery presents work by Marcus Ratliff, whose work was discussed Kolaj #8.<\/p>\n

BigTown’s Bud Venturini said, “Marcus Ratliff\u2019s collages can be described as Surreal images, composed primarily of unrelated, curious, and exotic paper ephemera that have been saved over many years. Each collected piece patiently waiting to be cut and pasted, taking on strange and newly acquired meaning with literary and mythological reference.<\/p>\n

The usual personal scale of Ratliff\u2019s collages are a result of the artist working for forty years as a graphic designer. Ratliff\u2019s projects were always large art books and brochures related to gallery and museum exhibitions. It is this same format that the artist felt most comfortable continuing to work in.”<\/p>\n
