Bill McMullen’s latest art show at the Constant Gallery (L.A) –
I’ve been informed by a rather reliable source, that the night turned out to be something of a celebrity magnet, with Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys and John C. Reilly turning up for the event. Cool celebrities too, not the sort you’d be embarrassed to brag to your homies about when you got back to your turf. Anyway enough chatter, check out the pics and see more at Flickr.com.
As far as I can tell the themes in Bill’s work stretch from corporate America to the Hip Hop culture to social comment. Do comment if you have titles for these works, am I that old-fashioned that I need titles? Well maybe but personally a title is half the work when creating an art object, I’m almost tempted to make up some titles to flesh out the post but I guess that would be the height of disrespect.
I love the methodology of McMullen, he seems to heavily focus on transference, and uses all kinds of materials and media to drive the message through. It’s almost a form of urban surrealism, but rather more down-to-earth than what you’d normally expect from that genre.
if you happen to live in the bustling vicinity of Los Angeles, it’s well worth going and seeing the exhibition in the flesh, check out Bill McMullen’s Hype Hustle Rip-Off Art Show at:-
