1981 Pervert "It was hard to love a woman that always made you feel so wishful"
Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art is pleased to present "1981 Pervert," an exhibition of new works in vinyl and acrylic by San Francisco-based Dennis McNulty. The exhibition opens July 2, and runs until August 22. McNulty re-engages the colors, shapes, and layouts of early 1980s men's magazine design, zeroing in on the genre's own re-engagement of the pinup icons of the 1940s and 1950s. Mindful of the broader definitions of "pervert" as both noun and verb, McNulty distorts the quasi-underground tradition of pinup art, presenting it not as nostalgia or historical quotation, but as a subjective, personal aesthetic interpretation.
