Jay Hanscom revisits childhood memories and fixations in his new work, Milkshakes and Gasoline.
Borne of the love of Spaghetti (Classic) Westerns, B-movies, hot rods, ray guns and punk rock, the artist’s newest body of work explores masculinity and pop culture. Combining nostalgia and rebelliousness Hanscom’s newest body of work is chock full of contradictions, contrasting loud and aggressive moments with delicate intricacy. In this contemporary blend of paintings, drawings and bold textual elements, Milkshakes and Gasoline negotiates the boyhood fascination with heroism and death and the frustrations of contemporary working class existence.
