Description
Deric Carner uses drawing and graphic forms as a way of navigating
and relating to the world. He is a collector and manipulator of signs
and messages, incorporating visual and textual fragments into an
overcoded vocabulary. They are taken from a globalized environment
and mindset that is so loaded with signs and references, that meaning
is constantly disintegrating or reforming around deracinated forms.

On view at Ping Pong Gallery are a series of hand-painted graphic
posters which take an uncanny pleasure in naming and associating. Odd
objects are paired with headline references to fictional and real
locales, movements and people. These elliptical markers invite
viewers to enter a territory of double, negated and hidden meaning.
This work emerges from a perspective of rational skepticism; yet
moves beyond towards the paradoxical freedom and tensions of semiotic
vertigo.
