It's at times like these, that I wish that I lived in a more art-savvy city. No disrespect to Auckland... I'm not exactly the most regular art-exhibition-goer either... but it would be awesome to attend more art events, you know? I stumbled across the likes of this artist, RYAN MCGINNESS, who recently held an exhibition in Los Angeles named 'RECENT PAINTINGS'. "McGinness is known for his bold and refreshing paintings and installations that layer contemporary iconography to underscore the artist’s commentary on language, history, and symbolism. Re-imagining our world as a series of graphic icons, McGinness layers and collages these images to create complex and sophisticated paintings that shed light on our contemporary world. Boldly colorful and slick, McGinness deftly merges together digital techniques with more traditional crafts like silk screening and painting." Note: If you are allergic to bright things, please DO NOT look any further.
