On View: “Ryan McGinness: Studio Visit” at the Virginia MOCA

Known for his elaborate screen printed works that reference elements of illustration and graphic design, Ryan McGinness gives viewers insight into his creative process with his current exhibition, "Ryan McGinness: Studio Visit" at the Virginia MOCA in Virginia Beach, VA, on view through April 19. A native of the area, McGinness's early involvement in Virginia Beach's skate culture made a lasting impact on his work. He initially started screen printing as a teenager because he was not able to afford name-brand skate apparel, and the popularity his original screen printed designs sparked his ongoing interest in the artistic medium. For "Studio Visit," sketches and ephemera from his New York studio or on display alongside large-scale works. Take a look at some photos from the exhibition below and stay tuned for Hi-Fructose's exhibition at the Virginia MOCA in 2016, "Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose."

Hi-Fructose Vol. 23 featured artist Mark Dean Veca's colorful, dynamic paintings pop off the page in bright red, orange, and turquoise hues, with curvaceous lines inspired by the underground comic world. His work incorporates everything from pop culture references like Tony the Tiger and Scrooge McDuck to Americana elements like the Lincoln Memorial to the American Flag, to religious iconography including skulls, Buddhas, and Ganeshas - all filtered through his own gaze. The Los Angeles based artist is now in Virginia, where we've invited him to create special installation for the Turn the Page: The First Ten Years of Hi-Fructose, opening tonight at Virginia MOCA.
