Listen04 - new show, by Coach on May 16, 2015 21:46:04 GMT 1, The irreverent Listen04 has a new show at the One Grand Gallery in Portland.
From the blurb:
"One Grand Gallery, a contemporary art and design gallery, is thrilled to present international artist, Listen04’s God Bless America. For the month of June, One Grand will venture into the absurd, obscene, and offensive to see what provokes people and gets their blood to boil.
This is a human sacrifice. Kindly leave if you were looking for something nice.
Listen04 struggles for air drowning his prodigious fingers in several hues of the ugly truth. Born and raised in the back of beyond, he prefers to remain the anonymous outsider looking in. In his world we are all f**king disgusting.
Toying with your fears and desires with a childlike ebullience, 04 cross fades the icons we talk about all day with thoughts we cannot even face alone. The leveraging of celebrity and their canvas sized vulnerabilities is a separate art altogether.
You will not have seen it bastardized like this before, prepare to laugh 1000 times.
This is Vivian Maier s**t. It's the meat you can't feed babies. It's ahead and it's now. Peppered with fleshy pieces of niche erotica and rap rhetoric, Listen04’s work is high in the sky conversation. These works represent the narrow realm of free thought in conversation with hip hop’s ying-yanged stasis of progress and naiveté.
Listen04 is an alien and a friend, an artful dodger who is essentially researching an iconoclast self. Do not miss out if you miss the charm of everything else.
"At first glance the work looked childish and simple. At second glance it still looked childish but not so simple. It was not until I discovered the extremely disturbed and often offensive nature of the artwork that I developed an appreciation for Listen04's f**ked up pieces.
His art looks like s**t and he obviously has a f**ked up head but he is serious about being funny and that's all I need to give a f**k."
-Anthony Lister
"
Show runs from 5th to 8th June. Works taken down as they are sold.
I have one piece, a book and loads of stickers by Listen04. It is not for the easily offended.
Personally, I think his work is funny and f**k.

Listen04 - new show, by Mark Perronet on May 18, 2015 13:01:59 GMT 1, Gosh he likes drawing cocks doesn't he? some pretty funny, some not and some pretty homophobic?
I refer to Captains Log, hope he doesn't grow up to be a real c---sucker, and gang bang for faggots.
Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives .com much funnier and more on point. In my humble of course

Some of the Listen04 stuff was hit and miss - it didn't strike me so much as homophobic - more the schoolboy type humour so some did make me laugh and some cringe
the Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives .com was also a great site - also very funny....and not a cock in site (if you're worried about seeing too many in one hit )

Mark, I posted about Listen04 previously when he had a new book out. There was nothing homophobic in that book as far as I recall. The piece I have, from the Secret 7 record release is offensive but not homophobic. Nor are the stickers I recieved.
When I recieved an email about the new show, I thought I would share that too as there had been some interest in my previous thread.
I must admit when doing so I had not looked at the new drawings on the website, which is poor form on my part. I have still not looked as I am work. All I can say is that if they are homophobic I would not have started the thread.

Thanks Mark. I'm not disagreeing with you. I've not looked as I'm at work. I do agree with you regarding that word.

Listen04 - new show, by Happy Shopper on May 18, 2015 17:36:37 GMT 1, I don't think they're intended to be homophobic at all... he just needs better punctuation!
And they're obviously intended you be stupidly offensive in a comical way.
