Description

The Shooting Gallery is proud to present “Happy Endings”, a new body of works by Greg Gossel. The exhibit is composed of large scale multi media works reflecting on the existence of consumerism, inequality and oppression alive in American culture. Please join us for the opening reception on June 13th 2009, from 7-11 pm.

“Happy Endings” debuts a visual repertoire of appropriated pop culture imagery. Within a contemporary context, Gossel comments on the collective conscious using geometric and typographic elements. He explores an array of media involving silkscreen, experimental Xerox copy and transfers, as well as various found billboard scraps and signage. The raw nature of the collection builds upon the surfaces with rich depth, paint, print and collage. Ranging from pulp novels, romance comics, political references, and fallen icons of the 20th century.
