Taxidermy Art Makes ‘American Mythic’ Creatures | Mission

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Gallery Hijinks is proud to present American Mythic, a collection of new works by Peter Gronquist. This April Gronquist exhibits awesomely patriotic paintings and sculptures that speak to the political and pop culture of our American psyche.

Please join us for the opening reception April 2nd, 2011 from 6-10pm. This exhibition will showcase a variety of mediums including paintings, sculpture, mixed media and taxidermy. Utilizing the radical black market commonly known as ebay, Gronquist acquires the rare elements in his work. He sculpts with wire armature and epoxy clay, sanding and layering until the work is ready to be plated with gold, silver or chrome.

Through this process the artist transforms taxidermy or weapons of warfare into skewed parodies of American culture.
