Penny solo show - January 9th to 30th, by Ken Hashimoto on Jan 3, 2021 21:15:59 GMT 1,
Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Broke by UK-based artist Penny. The artistโs debut solo exhibition with the gallery in the US will include his hyper-detailed, hand cut stencil works on currency and art historical intervention works. Encapsulated within each intimately scaled work is a layered critique on commodity, value and society.
Working with humble materials - paint, paper and a scalpel - Penny achieves mind bending and intricate compositions. Seamlessly blending pop culture iconography with social commentary, each piece is created with dozens of hand cut stencils layered on currency. The tongue in cheek nature of the artistโs work often depicts Her Majesty the Queen - blended with Marge Simpson, pixelated and obscured or assuming the visage of Magritteโs subject in the iconic Son of Man. Tackling darker and prevalent social issues for the exhibition - Marty McFlyโs DeLorean burns across a confederate bank note from the 1860โs, tools of police violence are emblazoned across the Lincoln Memorial on the back of a five dollar bill, โSorry Weโre Closedโ obscures Washingtonโs face on dollar bill.
A continuation of Pennyโs commentary on commodity, wealth, and capitalism, his most recent series of works depict replicas of famous paintings from art history with key elements โstolenโ and excised from the work. A conspicuously missing crown from Basquiatโs โPez Dispenserโ dinosaur and the famed pearl earring from Vermeerโs most notable portrait have been snatched from their frames - begging the question, what is valuable?
Advance collectors preview available soon, please email us at SF@hashimotocontemporary.com to request viewing room access before the exhibition opens!

Big thanks to everyone who got in touch, we've been pretty inundated with inquiries so do appreciate your patience. Preview should be going out shortly!
In the interim here are a couple new pieces for the show:
LOSING RESOLUTION, 2021 (pictured above) 15 layer hand cut stencil Spray paint on genuine ten Pound banknote Signed and numbered HPM of 20 7.5 x 14.2 cm
BASHQUIAT - BLACK, 2021 (pictured below) Framed mixed media Hand cut canvas, uniquely smashed glass Set in an ornate black frame Signed and numbered edition of 10 34.5 x 30.5 cm Edition of 10
Personally I love this "stolen" series, Penny debuted it at the District13 art fair in Paris with us two years ago and I'm excited to see him continue with it.
Cheers!

Much love to everyone who's picked up a piece during the preview or has visited the gallery in person, thank you!
We'll be releasing the remaining works online this Thursday at 10AM PST in the Hashimoto Contemporary online store (I believe this is 6pm GMT).
Quantities limited, one per person, blah blah blah (you know how this goes!)
