Klutch @ The Goodfoot - Sneak Peak!
The Goodfoot will have an art opening on Last Thurs, Sept 25th from 5-11pm, show will be up until Oct 27. This months artists are Klutch and Charlie Alan Kraft
With his latest offering, Planet Of The Kooks, Portland artist Klutch delivers a vision both inspirational and dystopian. Via an installation/mural made entirely from old skateboard decks, Klutch has manifested a world where people’s trash has been reclaimed by The Kooks into a space where flocks of birds and birdhouses hover over adobe villages rising from clouds. As protection from evil all are guarded by several primitive masks converted into elaborately decorated surveillance and communication devices.
Klutch, best known as the cranky old punk responsible for the Vinyl Killers project, has been creating visual mischief for over two decades. From his work with early 1980′s hardcore punk and the legendary Skull Skates, to painting backgrounds for Nike ads, his work has appeared around the world on t-shirts, skateboards, city walls, magazines, and galleries. In 2005 the suite he created at San Francisco’s Hotel Des Arts was featured in Time magazine’s annual “Best Of” issue.
