Honeymilk
A.J. Purdy and Jason Hsu’s faces and intestines entwined in a collaborative psychedelic drawing coming soon to Honeymilk.
Not that I’m comparing, mind, but take a look at these two images (Talia Greene’s at the top of the post and A.J. Purdy and Jason Hsu’s collaborative drawing just above) and see if their decorative impulses don’t strike a chord — the overall totem-like design, the interweaving of organic and man-made, the spidery, internalized imagery, the virtuosic handling of material…
Bottom image is from the press release I got from Carrie Powell of Honeymilk the boutique with an art program. Purdy and Hsu’s collaborative drawings will be on view Oct 6-Nov 17. At the opening, the gallery will also have a bunch of zines on hand including some by Purdy and Hsu.
