This exhibition brings together work from the past thirty years and gives an overview of his practice.
This is the first survey exhibition of Paul McCarthy's work to be shown in Europe. McCarthy,
one of the most influential and pioneering artists of his generation, uses a range of media
including photography, painting, sculpture, performance, video and installation to explore
the darker sides of American society. This exhibition brings together work from the past
thirty years and gives an overview of his practice. Using popular culture as his primary
source material, McCarthy challenges us to confront complex issues around sex,
violence, consumerism, the mass media and the family. His performances and
installations combine physical theatricality and humour to engage in a wide-ranging
social critique.
Visitors should be aware that some of the works in this exhibition are of an explicit nature
which they may find challenging. These works are not considered suitable for children.
Please contact the Gallery if you need further information and guidance.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue available at the special
exhibition, priced £24.99.
