JON PYLYPCHUK

Hey bruce you like this guy

http://artsy.net/artwork/jon-pylypchuk-for-all-the-love-in-the-world

So then we will burn you when you are dead

So then we will burn you when you are dead

2006
Wood, wood glue, fake fur, hot glue, watercolor, polyurethane, cotton
244 x 203 x 203 cm

Jon Pylypchuk makes his sculptures from the most impoverished materials: scraps of wood, remnant fabric, felt, glitter, and glue. Rendered with wonky ‘best attempt’ aesthetics, Pylypchuk mines all the sentimental authenticity of the unloved yet hopeful media of craft camps and community workshops. So Then We Will Burn You… pictures wee critters gathering around their stricken colleague. Reducing the moral sophistication of the adult world to artless simplicity, Pylypchuk plays out horror and grief with child-like naiveté and chilling matter-of-fact-ness, authoring a folktale of tactlessness, discomfort, and inadequacy.

What’s the First Thing the Phone Saw When I Turned it On?

2013-08-24 12.26.08

At Alice Street Bakery. I gotta remember to leave it on ‘camera’ when it turns off.

You Got to Countersink your Shit

The slats on my side of the bed keep shifting out of place, leaving a big gap under my upper back. Fixed it! Fred helped.

…and vice versa

Handwriting Doppelgänger

Handwriting Dopelganger
This box is on the 5th floor at OTOP. It looks like I wrote DETOX USE ONLY (TOX SCREENS) on it, but I didn’t. Somebody else did. Remarkably similar to my handwriting, though. I do a double-take whenever I walk past it.
My friend Leroy came to me
He said look out your window
Does the first man you see look like me?
I'm sooooore
Displeased
Texas Rose Café, Little Feat, Sailing Shoes

Because outside of my hotel window
There’s a sign that goes from red to green,
It says:
Chop Suey and Join the US Marines
Here’s a sample of my handwriting on cardboard for comparison.
