If you've found yourself with a case of the Mondays, I figure some random art from the mighty FOOD ONE (his momma named him Jim Mahfood) should lift your spirits. My Los Angelinos should be especially festive, because FOOD ONE's VISUAL FUNK WEEK is in full mother-fucking efFIZZect in your area! Here's an itinerary (that's just a list of places and dates, fools) and some more art below...
Hero Complex Gallery is
proud to present the FIRST SOLO exhibition and the book release by Jim
Mahfood AKA FOOD ONE entitled VISUAL FUNK. The exhibit and book spans an
almost two decade career highlighting the artist’s work in comics,
illustration, animation, advertising, murals, gallery shows, body
painting, and live art.
Visual Funk is more then a defiant
moniker for the artist. Visual Funk is a way of life. With constant
beats in his head, Mahfood’s work has the distinct timing mismatch of
funk, hip-hop, and jazz. By utilizing a
classically-based fundamental understanding of the human form
(particularly that of the female) and translating it in to a controlled
frenzy of free-form paint-and-ink-driven language, Mahfood has created a
definitive style all his own, making his work revolutionary,
recognizable, and relatable while staying true to his internal rhythm.
This event is an opportunity to meet the artist and view the works that
have solidified Mahfood’s multi-faceted career. The exhibit at Hero
Complex presents a diverse body of work from the Mahfood archives, along
with selections of new works, comic pages, and a collection of prints.
It's VISUAL FUNK WEEK in LA!!!
