Timothy Raines: Brand as Art

Timothy Raines works under a deliberately blunt banner: brand as art. The proposition is simple and worth taking seriously — that a logo, divorced from the shelf and the advertising budget, can hold up as a subject in its own right.

It is a small provocation aimed at both camps: the designers who would call it vandalism and the painters who would call it theft. Either way it makes you look twice at something you had stopped seeing.
