Okay, can I just say how much I love finding and viewing the Flickr accounts of artists I really like? Blame it on my inner fan boy or whatever, but I get a real kick out of seeing someone’s work more holistically than merely in print or on online portfolios. In the case of Mcbess’s Flickr account here you can see a work in progress and gain insight into everything from processes to real world inspirations.
Found these paintings and others in an interview with Brooklyn-based artist Tom Long on Fecal Face. The paintings are inspired, perhaps obviously, by Persian miniature paintings and Japanese wood block prints. These influences are used in really interesting manners, and produce paintings that are at once cavernous and dense.
