Mashing Ink, watercolour, pen and screenprint into densely textured visual planes, the paintings of L. Basil McMahon [Basil Undrtheweather] tease out fleeting notions of composure amidst a world set on fire. Finesse with the silkscreen and a knack for splatters inject Basil’s work with an eye-arresting, graphic touch evocative of an imminent ancient future gone somehow fantastically awry. Basil’s work has been exhibited in galleries, pasted in the streets, and popped up at festivals internationally including Ayden, Jacana and The Fall Galleries (Vancouver, Canada), Million Fishes Gallery (San Francisco), Symbiosis Gathering (CA, US), Shambhala Music Festival (BC, CA) and the FLU/ORG Protocolo Nucle.ART festival (Santiago, Chile).
