Paul McCarthy

Year born:

1945

Location:

Salt Lake City, UT

Paul McCarthy is known for visceral, shocking, and sexually charged sculptures and performance pieces that feature pop-culture icons in a bacchanalia of blood, semen, and feces. McCarthy uses wigs, masks, and sex-shop items in addition to chocolate sauce, ketchup, and mayonnaise to create disturbing scenes that comment on human degradation and perversion.
