Opening to the public across the pond at The Leonard Street Gallery this Friday, Booby Trap is the first solo show in while for Brooklyn's Bast.
From the press release:
BAST combines the varied yet complimentary elements of pop-culture, political
sarcasm, and a pinch of the Anarchist Punk movement with mixed media collage
and silkscreen techniques to create boldly stylised and somewhat gritty images.
His work appropriates this medley to convey his own interpretations of American
life. Guns, grenades and Molotov cocktails are often waiting to be unleashed by a
host of Disney and Warner Brothers' characters that use their weapons as
carelessly as kids use water balloons, often asking the question, "What if cartoon
characters ruled the world?"
Enjoy.
