I checked out a book from the library today titled The New Neurotic Realism. It is a collection of images from a show in 1998 at the Saatchi Gallery in London. A lot of the work still holds up:
These pieces by Brian Cyril Griffiths are made out of cardboard boxes, office bins, bottle caps, and household objects like egg cups and tea strainers.
This chair by Andreas Schlaegel is made from kitchen sponges. Seems sort of related to the Brian Griffiths piece, but also like a modern day Fur Tea Cup:
Object in Fur, Meret Oppenheim 1936.
People are still making work like this painting by Dan Hays- paintings influenced by warped new and old digital images.
Dissolve, 1998.
These Michael Raedecker drawing-painting hybrids are a mix of painting and sewing. From 1998, but still super contemporary and exciting!
Room 2 and Room 5, 1997.
Perspective, 1997.
Frisson, 1997.
