Rich in detail  his obsessively worked drawings pull freely from myriad sources spanning the cultural spectrum. The resulting  highly poetic constructions function as acute reflections of contemporary society. Throughout the years  his subjects have included political figures and historical events  with particular intensity since the events of September 11  2001. Seen here are images of Ronald and Nancy Reagan  J. Edgar Hoover  both Bush presidents  the Kennedys  Hitler  scenes from the Vietnam War and protest movements  wars in Iraq and Afghanistan  the prisoner abuse of Abu Ghraib  President Obama and Osama bin Laden. Raymond Pettibon (born 1957) studied economics at UCLA around the same time he joined his brother in the punk band Black Flag. He soon began to contribute artwork to album covers  flyers and t-shirts  for the band and its label  SST Records  and exhibited his work in group shows in galleries in the 1980s. Since the 1990s his work has been the subject of numerous major solo exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666288369717,"sku":"ByrdShop_3775737332","price":110.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783775737333.jpg?v=1782427096","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/raymond-pettibon-heres-your-irony-back-political-works-19752013-9783775737333","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
