ERIC MCHENRY – THE TERRIBLE TUSK SHOW
2014-06-16Utilizing various found materials from notepads to letters to photographs, the artist has created a hybrid form of mixed media collage and illustration. Born out of a necessity to have mobile art materials; this style of creating work was the ideal solution for an artist balancing a career. Framed grids of memo pad illustrations expound on the repetitive and mundane nature of a conventional 9-5 job. Frenzied drawings of sculptures, caricatures and quotes offer a unique perspective into the mind of a bright and emerging artist. Traditionally working in monochromatic colors, these new works also introduce a broader use of color experimentation. The Terrible Tusk Show is an over the top expression of the artists’ free spirited lifestyle and venture into new mediums. A contemporary juxtaposition defined by a youthful generations desire to fuse any and every counter culture at their disposal.
