Raymond Pettibon
Raymond Pettibon is an American artist known for his raw, unfiltered ink drawings that explore themes of politics, religion, and popular culture. He began his career as a graphic designer for punk rock and alternative music bands before turning to fine art. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
