Quilting Sessions. Drawings by Paul McCarthy & Benjamin Weissman

In the drawings McCarthy appropriates the inherent characteristics of American mass culture and employs a comic book style, with crassly comical points or a photo bank characteristic of pornographic journalism. McCarthy's visuals are derived exclusively from American junk culture, and the storytelling style has been shaped by zombie movie aesthetics, the horror genre etc. McCarthy's anachronistic narrative provides a new contrasting cultural image to this strikingly uncomplicated visual material, which is based on a total and merciless criticism of consumer society.
