Jim Shaw: Capitol Viscera Appliances Mural 2011 acrylic on muslin 500.0 x 1016.0 cm (irreg.) This is one of a series of mural works created by Shaw, using found theatrical backdrops on which he painted over the surfaces. The artist has mined the detritus of American culture, finding inspiration for his artworks in comic books, pulp novels, rock albums, protest posters, thrift store paintings and advertisements. This painting features multilayered references to esoterica, conspiracy theory, trash culture, and a fictional religion of his own creation: “Oism”. This group of paintings express Shaw’s unease with the social and ideological dominance of neo-conservativism, consumerism, and the Christian right in America. Capitol viscera appliances mural 2011 is an “Oneiric vision” depicting the obliteration of Capitol Hill, the seat of the US Government, by an eruption of molten lava overlaid with a floating matrix of domestic appliances (seemingly from the 1950s). The renderings of these appliances epitomise a golden age of American domesticity and consumerism. * * * * * * #NGVtriennial #JimShaw #CapitolVisceraAppliancesMural #NationalGalleryOfVictoria #supergorgeousness #instagay #helleaux #learningtosee #artnerd #inspirationiseverywhere #instagrammers #appropriation #artfag #arthag #Helleaux #StayAtHomeModel #shotoniPhone (at National Gallery of Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_a59qBR-U/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another morning at the NGV Triennial arriving as soon as the doors opened Love the way the NGV have displayed the old classics in a new way using sound, lighting and even graffiti style backdrops. Really makes you appreciate these works as fun and exciting! My heart always sings when I see the Impressionist paintings, the video installations were colourful and thought provoking and the furniture designs blow my mind. Love this exhibition, so much to see over 3 levels, you’ll need hours or days like me 😂 @ngvmelbourne . . #ngvtriennial #ngv #ngvmelbourne #ngveveryday #ngvtriennial2020 #jenshewringartist #jenshewringart #jenshewring #videoinstallation #artlovers #artgallery #artcollector #artvideo #impressionistart #impressionist #popart #sculpture #furnituredesign #melbournelife #melbmoment #inmelbournestreets #inmelbournetoday #broadsheetmelbourne #melbournecity #melbourneartist #melbourneinterior #melbournegallery #contemporaryart #contemporaryartwork #contemporaryartists (at National Gallery of Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMLp4tDH1Bq/?igshid=15g2p9k8zl2j7
