◄ Overview
Will Boone
Frankie
To the right eye, the detritus of late-capitalist popular culture is the ultimate goldmine – and Will Boone’s eye is so very right. His acrylic paintings, enameled metal sculpture, and complex installations often suggest what he calls the “extinguished optimism” of recent history, through an intense deployment of seemingly random pop references – monster films, car culture, fallout shelters. You may well feel a vague dread when faced with his work, but you won’t be able to take your eyes off it.
