🎨#ArtIsAWeapon Reposted from @whitewall.art Whitewall is excited to announce Hugo McCloud [@hugomccloudstudio] as the latest cover artist of the Summer 2021 Impact issue. [https://whitewall.art/art/hugo-mccloud-using-plastic-to-paint-draw-connections-and-ask-questions.]

While quarantined at his home and studio in Tulum, Mexico, McCloud created a new body of work made entirely of single-use plastic bags, resulting in a rich exploration of plastic as a medium. Working from found and gathered plastic bags initially—a commentary on the ubiquity of the items, the economics of labor, the impact of down-cycling, and global consumption and interconnectedness—McCloud happened upon a grocery store in Mexico that sold them in bulk in a peculiar and beautiful array of colors. That new palette, further expanded by searching for the manufacturing sourced, served as the basis for his exhibition “Burdened” at Sean Kelly Gallery early this year. Now in print and online, we’re sharing our conversation with the artist, who discusses his recent works, his studio in Tulum, and continuing to find new ways to problem-solve.

Hugo McCloud's first solo museum exhibition, "from where i stand is currently" on view at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum through January 2, 2022.
