Barry McGee's solo exhibition, Nature Inside Me, showcases his unique style, blending graffiti and Op Art to express themes of societal detachment. The pieces engage the audience in a visual dialogue, featuring hand-painted panels, found objects, and distorted patterns. This exhibition aims to reflect the chaos of modern life, intentionally presenting disorder as a means of connection. Additionally, McGee launched a series of hand-pulled screen prints that draw from his extensive personal archive, creating art that feels like a visual diary of protest and poetry.
McGee's work always finds a way to speak for those on the margins, or those who've opted out of society's rat race altogether.
In Nature Inside Me, it feels especially intentional. Each piece hums with lived-in energy, as if pulled straight from a garage wall, a back alley, or the side of a boxcar.
At its core, this show is about giving shape to the chaos many of us live in daily. McGee doesn't smooth over the disorder-he arranges it, fragments and all.
Each piece taps into his massive personal archive-a trove of magazine cutouts, photos, sketches, and old signage built up over decades.
