ED FELLA (USA)
JULY 3 – AUGUST 2
Currently a former Detroit commercial artist
(1957–1987) and presently teaching art at CalArts in Los Angeles (1987–)
A self prescribed “exit level” designer, Ed Fella
left his commercial design practice of 30 years
to undertake an MFA in Design at Cranbrook
Academy of Art in 1987. Whilst his technical
skill has never wavered – producing gratis work
for art galleries and institutions, his practice
shifted and experimental collages, drawings and
typographic meanderings formed a style which is uniquely recognisable –
in fact unmistakable.
In 2002, Ed was resident artist in the Faculty of
Art and Design, Monash University. This survey
of books, drawings, photographs, posters, flyers and collages at The Narrows
includes work made during his time in Melbourne.
