Locust Jones in conversation with Jonathan McBurnie Behind the Art

    • 视觉艺术

Locust Jones speaks about his large scale drawings made for WrestleMANIA. Jones’ pieces are made as realtime responses to the global news cycle, and circumnavigate the artist’s sense of outrage, the absurd and tragedy, trying to make sense of the static. Jones discusses his early experiences of televised wrestling during his New Zealand childhood and incorporating its larger-than-life iconography into his larger-than-life drawings.
