The works of New York based artist Uri Aran take on the character of a many-layered collection of poems. Uri’s drawing technique is based on the precise repetition of a particular series of gestures: drawing-scanning-printing. The book “BUS” is simply the next phase in reproducing the “original”. Uri’s first artbook is full of images, but really it traces the “poetry of the road”.
As we open the book, hopping on the “BUS and settling into a seat in the back, the reader starts to take note of the images and messages that appear, observing from a distance. Heroes come and go, we hear fragments of private stories and bits of news from around the world. At every stop, absurd situations take place at a regular pace, but eventually the initial chaos is ordered into a multitude of meanings.
