{"product_id":"17995-hugo-mccloud","title":"Hugo McCloud","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eBrooklyn-based artist Hugo McCloud is one of the most prolific young talents working today. Self-taught with a background in industrial design, McCloud\u0026rsquo;s practice is unrestricted by classical, academic tenets. Drawing inspiration from the rawness and decay of the urban landscape, McCloud creates rich, large-scale abstract paintings and sculptural objects by fusing unconventional industrial materials\u0026mdash;tar, bitumen, aluminum sheeting and oxidized steel plates\u0026mdash;with traditional pigment and woodblock printing techniques. His approach is instinctive and physical, often working on the floor, sanding, hammering and torching his materials until a total metamorphosis takes place. Driven by an enduring desire to uncover beauty in the overlooked and abandoned, McCloud\u0026rsquo;s work pushes the boundaries of utilitarian materials and confronts aesthetic perceptions.\u003c!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/--\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49767665631496,"sku":"9783775742528","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775742528_ce593d5a-46b9-42ba-820f-0071723d39d5.jpg?v=1744099060","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17995-hugo-mccloud","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
