"Mitch O’Connell: Great Investment Potential"
2003-06-06 until 2003-07-05
Aron Packer Gallery
Chicago, IL,
USA United States of America
A Chicago favorite, Mitch O’Connell brings his literally wild and wacky
vision to Aron Packer Gallery for the first time. Mitch illustrates for
such giants as Playboy, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker, while also
exhibiting his personal art in galleries around the world.
His subject matter is heavily influenced by the oddball and offbeat aspects
of American culture including everything from Keane's big eyed kids to
1960's nudist parks. He is capable of mixing many inspirations adeptly,
putting everything in a blender and making it come out his own.
Two books of Mitch's art have been published, "Good Taste Gone Bad" and
"Pwease Wuv Me". Reviewers wrote, "His art snap crackles and pops with sex,
iconography and black velvet paintings"-The Boston Globe and "Bewitching
Kitsch!"-Village Voice. He also has his own line of tattoo flash displayed
in 100's of tattoo shops. Tabu Tattoo magazine described him as "One of the
defining artists of his generation."
In addition to his paintings a new feature on display will be a
series of painted "lighted scenic moving pictures".
