Mike Geary
PH Gallery
547 W 27th St Mike Geary Brain Head |
Geary’s works deal iconic imagery, which appear as cartoon like form with psychedelic pattern and colors. He often uses the brain pattern in his work to depict a head of imaginary creatures. This realistically illustrated grotesque shape stands out from bright colored fantasy space, but the playful items such as a hat, pipe and hands on brain lumps connect cartoony - flatted background together. At the same time, the images like black rains, red bread, skull shaped and muscle-texture of creatures’ elongated arms promote the fatal impression. These creepy figures, suggest the portraits of the subversive generation in our contemporary society and the flat background implies their subconscious, which are influenced by popular culture.
As a founder of Skulking, a noise music band, Geary sometimes apply his imagery into square canvas. Record album covers inspire his center focused composition and decorative fringe along the flame. He also produces unique imagery by painting and collage over actual album cover and transforms mass produce record into the original and personal one. For this exhibition, we also display some of his silkscreen prints made as flyers for a music show.
Born 1977 in Boone, North Carolina, Geary lives and works in New Heaven, Connecticut and graduated from School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1999.
