Totally Repugnant/Immensely Appetizing

Taxali is one of the world's foremost illustrators. He's worked for everyone from McSweeney's to MTV and was nominated for a Grammy award in 2010 for his LP artwork for singer Amie Martin. Inspired by vintage comics and advertising Taxali uses retro imagery in a very modern mash-up style, highlighting the perverse insecurities of modern life in a rampant consumer culture. Mature and philosophical yet appealing and hilarious, this is a show that straddles street art, fine art and top of the food chain graphic design. "It continues with my preoccupation of constant paradoxes such as human relationships, love, isolation, period advertisements, propaganda and economic despair and frustration," smiles Gary.
