Mad Art: Friday, 7 November 2008
Opening Reception for New Work by Ron Buechele, Jim Mahfood, and Peat Wollaeger Friday, November 7, 7 pm to 11 pm
Mad Art Gallery proudly presents new work by Ron Buechele, Jim Mahfood, and Peat Wollaeger. This exhibit opens on Friday, November 7, 2008, and continues through December 2, 2008.
Buechele's new work explores liminality, the state of being on the threshold between two different existential planes. The images Buechele's in paintings are reminiscent of those used in advertising in the 1950's and 1960's. The images are wholesome and idyllic. His message is not. Buechele's images lull the viewer into a sense of nostalgia, and then like a sucker punch in the nose, Buechele's text serves up his message with an acerbic wit.
Jim Mahfood aka Food One is a muralist, comic book artist, painter, live
art show rocker, and drunken free-styler extraordinaire.
Internationally known for his whimsical, raw, and brightly-colored stenciled characters that include, Mr. Teeth, the Dead Fat Comedians, Albino Alley Cat, and the Luchador series, Peat Wollaeger is one hard-working artist.
This exhibit promises to be like no other. Prepared to be surprised, entertained, and possibly offended. There will be a free opening reception kicking off this exhibit on Friday, November 7, 2008, from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. Cash bar, complimentary appetizers, music.
