Published in conjunction with an exhibition of work by the Los Angeles-based visual artist Sayre Gomez at Sifang Art Museum in China, 'Enterprise' features paintings and sculptures in a presentation that explores several major themes in his oeuvre, showcasing the range of his innovative practice. From epic technicolour vistas and dazzling natural phenomena to bleached advertising signs and degraded street furniture, the contemporary city is explored as a tangled mesh of conflicting realities. Recurring metaphors are often used in Gomez's work as part of the artist's investigation into the role of context in the distribution and legibility of images in the 21st century.
