Greg Haberny "Yum Yum Factory"
Capla Kesting Fine Art
This event has ended.
Greg Haberny’s work is a visual overview of explosive, violent, humorous and controversial images and installations. With radical spontaneity, he creates a distorted reflection of contemporary society. He has coined the phrase “Pre-Apocalyptic Expressionism” to describe his art and his self-proclaimed movement.
Greg’s point of departure stems from satire and comedy. He uses racial references as well as twisted 1950’s commercialism with an undertone of contemporary urban street art. His thematic vision synthesizes pop culture, politics, advertising, religion, and world history. He dismantles the politically correct, conformist world surrounding us by creating an environment that engages the viewer and encourages participation. His installations exaggerate the absurdity of the media circus and the violent images they breed.
Closing party at CKFA on friday may 9th.
The artist will be at the gallery on 7th, 8th from 12-7 and 9th from noon to midnight.
