A Playful Tone – Contemporary Art by Mike Womack

Mike Womack, 1976 in Houston TX geboren, lebt und arbeitet heute in Brooklyn NY. Seine Werke bestechen durch einen unglaublich-, visuellen Ausdruck. Irgendwo zwischen Gemälde und Skulptur, spielerischer Vielfalt und künstlerischem Konzept wird der Betrachter in teils surreale Welten entführt.

“I have remarked before that a streak of craft is running through contemporary art these days, with many artists making objects by hand using techniques like model-making, knitting and ceramics. It is plainly apparent in this show. In addition to Natsu and Ms. Peppito, there is also Mike Womack, who has constructed a cinder block out of bright orange Cheetos. It is a tongue-in-cheek gesture, but the block is so perfectly made that you cant help but admire the artists oddball brilliance.” – Benjamin Genocchio, New York Times, August 2007
