Barry McGee's signature graphic style comes to life in this work rendered in ink, graphite, and oil on printed sheet music paper, where the musical staves serve as an unconventional and evocative ground. The layered mediums create a tension between the found material and McGee's raw, gestural mark-making, reflecting his roots in street art and Bay Area graffiti culture. Housed in the artist's own frame, the work exists as a complete, considered object, emphasizing McGee's holistic approach to presentation and his blurring of boundaries between fine art and everyday materials.
