Paul McCarthy
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.

Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
