Alicia McCarthy’s energetic works weave together house paint, coloured pencil, liquid graphite, spray paint, and occasional lyrical or understatedly profound phrases. Drawn to the discarded, everyday items sheared from their original intent are appropriated and abandoned wood is scouted and repurposed as a foundation. Combining various abstract gestures while maintaining a very physical presence, they are subtle, radiant, complex and emanate an immediate and honest energy. Alicia McCarthy is one of the core figures of what is known today as “The Mission School” together with Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, Ruby Neri and Chris Johanson, named after San Francisco’s Mission District where the artists lived and worked in the 1990s. The group came together around independent music, skateboarding, graffiti, community driven projects, queer politics and zine publishing, and was perpetuated in the seminal traveling exhibition Beautiful Losers (curated by Aaron Rose and Christian Strike), now also a documentary of the same title.
