Intrusive thoughts are disturbing thoughts that pop into your mind in an uncontrollable or uninvited way, and they tend to make you feel uneasy. These thoughts seem to come out of nowhere, usually a strange, disturbing, or troubling image that pops into your mind. These thoughts often occur as a result of stress or anxiety.
Raymonde Pettibon is an American artist who started working in the late 1970’s. Much of his work address his views on stereotypes of American mainstream culture. His work expresses his thoughts and opinions in a very loud, even grotesque way, often cryptic with dark content. He will often add text in his work, very short, dense visual language. I chose a few of his artworks that most strongly speak and reflect to me the expression of an intrusive thought.
