Artists Focus: Barry McGee
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Barry McGee is born in San Francisco in 1966, where he currently lives and works. He received his BFA in painting and printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute and was associated with the Mission School, a movement primarily influenced by urban realism, graffiti, and American folk art, with a focus on social activism. McGee's works constitute candid and insightful observations of modern society, and his aim of actively contributing to marginalized communities has remained the same throughout his career.
His trademark motif, a male caricature with droopy eyes, references his empathy for those who identify the streets as their home. His conglomeration of experiences has led McGee to create a unique visual language consisting of geometric patterns, recurring symbols, and the use of the "cluster method," while experimenting with various unconventional media, including glass bottles and other found objects. His recent large-scale murals and his meticulous archive of paintings and drawings examine the notion of public versus private space and the accessibility of art.
McGee's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at museums and institutions including Fondazione Prada, Milan; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the UC Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, California; the Institute of #contemporaryart, Boston; the Watari Museum of #contemporaryart, Tokyo; and the Museum of #contemporaryart Santa Barbara, California. His works are part of public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; New Art Gallery Walsall, UK; and Fondazione Prada, Venice
