New Work by Snaggs Le Merde & Scrappers at GRNY
This saturday, Giant Robot will present Mossy & Glossy, a group show featuring new works by artists from the Pacific Northwest with excellent nicknames: Justin “Scrappers” Morrison, Candi “Snaggs” Hibert, and Mike “Le Merde” Kelly.
According to a press release, “The art of Scrappers reflects the outdoorsy environment of Portland, OR and his new pieces will preview his upcoming book about a logging crew, feral scouts, beards, and mushrooms. Seattle-based Snaggs was inspired by stuffed Nauga Monsters from the ’60s to become a felt artist. Her rainbow-colored body of work, which includes “paintings,” dolls, and pillows, has a retro modern style that combines the handmade quality of craft with the sensibility of clean design. Le Merde has gained a rabid following in the limited-edition figure scene with his molten and oozing but cute style.”
A reception for Scrappers, Snaggs, and Le Merde will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, June 21.
Artwork will be available to view and purchase online next week.
