Modern Art is delighted to announce an exhibition of new work by Barry McGee. This is McGee’s third solo show with
Modern Art, and his first exhibition in London for six years.
Barry McGee’s style and visual language has an instantly recognisable character and unique voice. His work draws its
structures and graphic impact from the influences of tagging, ‘Mission School’ abstraction, and vandalism, meeting a
formal and installational logic that draws on the conventions of contemporary painting and sculpture. The core of
McGee’s practice is the expressive immediacy and spirit of independence that is rooted in the culture and histories of
socially motivated intervention in the public realm.
McGee’s paintings and drawings incorporate elegantly draughted elements of figurative linework and repetitive
tessellations of geometric, abstract patterns which synthesise found and invented source material. In both formal and
informal contexts, bold combinations of colour, shape and knowledgably crafted graphic elements sit against and beside
one another, alive with energy and empathy. His pictorial sense touches on the global reach of unsanctioned art that
takes place within the fabric of urban architecture, but equally on Hispanic and Latin-American decorative arts, and
functional graphics sourced from the post-consumer world. Hundreds of uniquely painted panels and objects can be
fitted together, butted against one another in an immersive, site-responsive hang that results from McGee’s openly
intuitive working method.
