Barry McGee and V1 Gallery Team Up for New Print Series
Earlier this summer, Bay Area legendBarry McGeeheaded to Copenhagen to open a new solo exhibition,Nature Inside Me, atV1'sEighteen Gallery. With cues taken from American folk art, sign-making, Op Art and graffiti, the showcase builds on McGee's ongoing interrogation and material (dis)order, reflecting on the state of contemporary society — particularly those on the fringes or choose not to play by its rules.
To coincide with the exhibition, McGee has collaborated with V1 on a 10-piece print run. Crafted in Copenhagen, this latest suite of hand-pulled screen print draw from the artist's extensive magazine archive from the last three decades, fusing illustration, text and photography in playful compositions.
The color and recycled series are currently up for grabs on V1's website, each consisting of five prints for a total of 1o. Priced at €1050 EUR, the color series is limited to an edition 27, while the recycled series is limited to an edition of 50 for €700 each. Both series are signed and numbered by the artist and measure 50 x 70 cm.
