Team Macho at Narwhal Art Projects from October 28 - November 28
Toronto’s infamous Team Macho are back at Narwhal with another display of their hipster folk art (for lack of a better term). For those who don’t know who they are, they’re basically the art world answer to the city’s long tradition of absurdist sketch comedy groups.
This show is made up of more than 70 works in acrylics, resin covered panels, collages and watercolours. Anyone familiar with their past exhibits, or the solo works of the team’s members, won’t find much to be surprised about, but they could find plenty to be charmed by. Their mix of flat and kitschy Canadiana filled with pop art references, slightly macabre humour and lewd jokes are all present and accounted for. Included are assorted comic characters, underwear sailing ships, and the ubiquitous Star Wars battles in the verdant fields of rural Ontario.
