Research: Artists that use text in their work: Gerry Smith

I also viewed Gerry Smith, who calls himself a 'text based artist'. In which most of his works incorporate text but to a minimal standard. Gerry's 'Don't mess with me' holds that bold statement touch which is the manipulated with the minimal black font on white background or his 'Brunelleschi's Singularity' which is of a similar form yet incorporates a much smaller font which is seemingly overwhelmed with the huge negative space around it. His 'Instruction' pieces which "display a mundane literalism" reminded me Sol leWitts instructional pieces and how he devised a way in which anyone could replicate his art. It got me thinking on how my piece could well seem as instructions to some.
