128 pages Texts by Arnaud Turbez 27.7 x 21.3 cm Language: French, English Hardback Publisher: Art Together Edition of 1000 copies 2018
Les 5 Éléments showcases the contemporary work of Leonard McGurr, also known as Futura 2000, a pioneer in urban contemporary art. Unlike a retrospective or a simple visual catalog, it combines visuals with two narratives: one sharing the artist's creative residency and the other presenting his works through the theme of the universe's creation.
The residency he did with Art Together provided a unique opportunity to observe the artist's process and techniques, offering insights into the creative journey behind his art. The theme of "the five elements" was chosen, reflecting the spatial nature of his abstract work. The book takes readers on a journey through the creation of the universe, blending art with simplified scientific explanations.
This project aims to document and share Futura 2000's creative production in a fresh, engaging way.
