Seller's Description:
Untitled, 1999
Acrylic on board
22 x 19 in. (60 x 48.3 cm.)
Barry McGee, a.k.a Twist, (b. 1966, San Francisco) has made his mark reinventing and blending together found and invented imagery, tags and assorted objects. McGee draws on a range of influences including the Mexican muralists, tramp art, the graffiti artists of the 70’s and 80’s and the San Francisco Beat poets. His work has the strong immediately recognizable visual signature of the best graffiti art, but is also enormously poetic and evocative. It communicates the artist’s strong empathy with people who have been left behind by contemporary society. McGee has been working on the streets of San Francisco since the mid 1980’s where his images continue to endure on surfaces despite the continuous campaign of public authorities to paint them out. McGee has long resisted showing his works in museums and commercial galleries but he has recently become more active in the established art world. His work was featured in a solo exhibition at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, at Brandeis University’s Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Massachusetts in 2004 as well as in his 2005 solo show at Deitch Projects, New York City, and a solo show at the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, Japan in 2007.
