If you’re a fan of David Byrne’s artwork, then you’re going to want to check out the latest edition from 20×200, The Roots of War in Popular Song (forest of no return) , a print that’s based on an original piece from his Tree Drawing series. “The Tree Drawings are particularly resonant — no artist myself, I find my creative comfort in words (as evidenced in the abundance of text-based works in our archives) and have been an inveterate connector of the unlikely and the disparate since childhood,” explains 20×200’s Youngna Park. “With on-the-surface simplicity and humble source materials — ‘straight from the sketchbook,’ he writes in his statement — Byrne’s sketches reveal an enviable breadth of knowledge, wit and humility, all in the pursuit of making sense of the often nonsensical.”
