Barry McGee

portfolio of ten etchings, aquatints and screenprints on wove paper (not illustrated), in artist’s wooden box

Barry McGee's raw and visceral sensibility translates seamlessly into this portfolio of ten drypoint on acid works, where his signature blend of street culture, folk art, and social commentary finds a precise and intimate medium. The collection, housed in a custom artist's wooden box, reflects McGee's characteristically tactile and hand-crafted approach to artmaking, elevating the portfolio itself into a unified sculptural object. Each print carries the gritty, expressive line work and underground aesthetic that have defined McGee as a pivotal figure in the intersection of fine art and graffiti culture.
