The work exemplifies the layered, culturally voracious, and formally complex visual language of David Salle, one of the most significant and influential American painters of his generation. Emerging in the New York art scene of the early 1980s alongside Julian Schnabel, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Eric Fischl, Salle became a defining figure of the Neo-Expressionist and Pictures Generation movements — developing a distinctive practice of juxtaposing disparate, seemingly unrelated images drawn from art history, advertising, pornography, domestic life, and popular culture within a single composition. His layered, disjunctive paintings challenged conventional notions of pictorial unity and narrative coherence, proposing instead a visual model of simultaneity and cultural saturation that anticipated the fragmented image world of the digital age.
In Overunder, Salle brings his characteristic compositional intelligence to the archival pigment print medium — deploying the precision and chromatic fidelity of digital printing to reproduce the complexity and layering of his painted surfaces with exceptional accuracy. The addition of varnish further enriches the surface quality of each impression, creating a nuanced interplay of matte and gloss that gives the prints a physical presence well beyond the conventional boundaries of the editioned print. The near-square format of the largest sheet — at over one meter — gives the complete set a monumental scale entirely consistent with the ambition and visual density of Salle's practice.
Published by Lococo Fine Art, St. Louis — a respected specialist publisher with a strong focus on significant American contemporary artists — this set carries a solid institutional and production pedigree. Each impression bears the ink stamp of the publisher on the reverse, confirming its authenticity and provenance.
