Tate Foley

Working from a broad and deep knowledge of many different artistic disciplines with a printmaking core, Tate creates art that distorts and twists the expected relationships between pictures and text. All of his pieces, whether they are drawings, digital works, photography, or prints, have a visible influence from the graphic design of advertising, which makes their criticism of consumerism and politics all the more striking. He references current news and events in an effort to comment on American history, politics, and culture, utilizing satirical themes that encourage the viewer to reflect on contemporary society.
