Untitled, 2018. India ink on paper, 11 x 8.5 in.

Executed during a pivotal period of focused studio output, the featured work belongs to a suite of monochromatic ink works produced in 2018 that foreground Brunetti’s enduring preoccupation with American iconography, media saturation, and embodied critique. The figure—simultaneously intimate and confrontational—emerges from a dense interplay of gestural mark-making and cultural residue.

This work was included in Don’t Worry, Everything’s Cool, a group exhibition curated by the late John Copeland, a close friend and long-standing interlocutor of the artist. Held in New York City, the exhibition brought together artists whose practices interrogate figuration, language, and social mythologies through divergent yet resonant methodologies. The inclusion of Brunetti’s India ink drawings in this context cemented a long-sustained but often underrecognized component of his interdisciplinary practice, extending far beyond his seminal contributions to appropriation aesthetics in American streetwear.

Presented here within the Foundation’s archive, this work offers scholars, institutions, and the public a rare index of Brunetti’s visual lexicon in its most distilled and unmediated form.

Together, these works not only expand Brunetti’s critical lexicon, but also reaffirm the Foundation’s role in stewarding both the interpretive and material life of his practice—from scholarly context to archival production. In this spirit of preservation and public access, the Foundation oversees the production of limited edition prints that maintain the integrity of the original works while ensuring their continued cultural circulation.

The Foundation presents a curated selection of museum-quality limited edition prints, each produced with archival standards and artistic fidelity. All editions are sanctioned by the Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts and represent an extension of Brunetti’s critical visual lexicon—rendered with care, constraint, and enduring relevance.

Prints are produced in collaboration with master printers and fine art production studios, including preliminary consultation with Brand X Editions in New York. These partnerships reflect the Foundation’s commitment to precision, provenance, and public legacy.

These works support the Foundation’s mission through public access, scholarly dissemination, and critical preservation. They are designed not only to circulate, but to last.
