Kathleen Lolley is from my birth state of Kentucky. It is a magical land where we all bathe in tree stumps in the moonlight, float around at night in enchanted whirly contraptions, and have strange pig-sheep hybrids to sweep our floors for us.
I am not joking. These paintings are based on real-life events.
But for the rest of you, who aren't hip to Kentuckian ways, you should probably check out Kathleen Lolley's upcoming show "Myth & Magic" at Giant Robot San Francisco. I'm betting they'll have an online gallery up after the show opens on July 19, but in the meantime, you can get a sneak preview on Kathleen's Myspace page. Which also just happens to be one of my favorite Myspace pages of all time. Her interests include "surrealism, comics, alchemy, mystery, birds, strange text & folk lore," and it really comes through in her work. Those just happen to be some of my main interests as well, so I'm well excited for this one.
