Born in 1945, and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, he first established a multi-faceted artistic practice, which sought to break the limitations of painting by using unorthodox materials such as bodily fluids and food. He has since become known for visceral, often hauntingly humorous work in a variety of mediums—from performance, photography, film and video, to sculpture, drawing and painting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-desc mt-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the 1990s, he extended his practice into installations and stand-alone sculptural figures, utilizing a range of materials such as fiberglass, silicone, animatronics and inflatable vinyl. Playing on popular illusions and cultural myths, fantasy and reality collide in a delirious yet poignant exploration of the subconscious, in works that simultaneously challenge the viewer’s phenomenological expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhether absent or present, the human figure has been a constant in his work, either through the artist‘s own performances or the array of characters he creates to mix high and low culture, and provoke an analysis of our fundamental beliefs. These playfully oversized characters and objects critique the worlds from which they are drawn: Hollywood, politics, philosophy, science, art, literature, and television. McCarthy’s work, thus, locates the traumas lurking behind the stage set of the American Dream and identifies their counterparts in the art historical canon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PAUL McCARTHY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44913134240025,"sku":"","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/5024\/2841\/products\/Folio_f026cf2e-d07d-4f6b-9aa1-71b6872a1266.jpg?v=1680736067","url":"https:\/\/landslidebooksandobjects.com\/products\/paul-mccarthy","provider":"Landslide","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
