Shane Walsh makes paintings that borrow from historical abstraction and graphic imagery. Approaching painting as a form of collage, he playfully dissects and then reconstructs visual languages to arrive at a form of abstract painting that is both autobiographical and historically aware. This cut-and-paste ethos is a direct result of his involvement with various subcultures of the 1990s. His omnivorous appetite for visual culture results in a wide array of references, quotations, techniques, and materials that ultimately fuse into Frankenstein-like compositions, melded but never seamless.
