A native of San Francisco, McGee studied painting and printmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute, graduating in 1991. But he also made a name for himself as a graffiti artist, tagging the streets of San Francisco as Ray Fong, Twist and Twisto. He became a leading figure in the 1990s movement known as the Mission School, after the city's celebrated Mission District, and his work continues to bear the marks of that moment―the influence of urban, vernacular art forms, the use of nontraditional art materials and a taste for showing work with and among friends.
In this new volume, McGee has assembled hundreds of artworks and objects―his own works and the works of friends and acquaintances. Featuring new paintings, sculptures, photographs and images of site-specific installations, this new volume is an appropriately wide-ranging exploration of the recent work of an artist who defies easy categorization and explanation.
Published to accompany an exhibition at Cheim & Read, New York, this artist’s book features new paintings, sculptures, photographs and images of site-specific installations. McGee’s work defies easy categorization and explanation but it’s possible to read into this latest body current events in the world at large.
