Macho, Macho Men
The machoest of macho men on the planet have their art on display at Magic Pony in a show entitled Team Macho is a Tough Man. Tough? Indeed! The thin moustaches and slim physiques of the Team Macho men (Lauchie Reid, Chris Buchan, Nicholas Aoki, Jacob Whibley, and G. Stephen Appleby-Barr) make them so tough that we were tembling in our sneakers at the show’s opening last week. The solo and collaborative pieces are unified stylistically and thematically. Humourous, whimsical, and fantastical illustration-based pieces in ink and paints depict robots, monsters, and creatures in a variety of scenarios. The solo works are more simplified versions of the chaotic and collage-like collaborations. Drop by Magic Pony (694 Queen St. W) before the end of the month to witness the fun and colourful art of machismo.
