Tibi Tibi Neuspiel is a Toronto-based artist who originally began as a self-taught painter while living as a teenager in Prague. After working as an assistant to sculptor Richard Stipl, Neuspiel began taking an interest in conceptual installation mediums. These days, Neuspiel’s series Assassination Sandwiches [(2009/2010) shown above], has been getting loads of attention- and he deserves it. By extracting parallels between art and comedy, Tibi presents recognizable historical figures in unusual contexts, providing the viewer the opportunity to identify easily and examine further. While toying with an infatuation for timelessness, Neuspiel’s work remains archival in concept and form. Take a look at more of his work, and my personal favourite, Men With White Beards on the Ceiling of a Church (2009), here.
