| The art of Cary McCoy, sophisticated and complex paintings and drawings that have a naive, whimsical quality. Macabre and odious topics such as UFOs, mind control, occult, paranormal, religion, mysticism and shamanism are transmuted into approachable, vivid narratives. What appears childish at first sight reveals a complex interpretation of foreboding and exhilaration that necessitates a re-acquaintance with one's intuition.Images suggest the inevitability of a techno-archaic reconciliation while impulsively generating a greater cumulative significance that beckons to the very near future. While blatantly antithetical to the anthropocentric mode of logic, the images no less mock the abstruse mytho-occult spinsters as if to hold a warped mirror up to the duplicitous tricksters themselves. To the limits of psychotronic consciousness, in so far as limits have been given to that consciousness in our age |
