Barry McGee

San Francisco-based artist Barry McGee developed an early and impassioned following for his unsanctioned work on the streets of San Francisco under tags such as "Twist," "Ray Fong," and "Lydia Fong." With dynamic images that use the visual chaos of the street to address urban class tension and are inspired by a variety of sources such as hobo art, sign painting, graffiti comics, and Beat literature, McGee now has an international exhibition record that includes shows at Deitch Projects, UCLA Hammer Museum, Foundation Cartier in Paris, and Fondazione Prada in Milan
