MICHEL PÉREZ POLLO @ Mai 36

mai_36_MICHEL_PÉREZ_POLLO

Michel Pérez Pollo paintings may seem childlike and naive, his concern is to avoid faithful accuracy in favor of a universal expression. His models are figures and shapes made of modeling clay, which he greatly enlarges and exaggerates when painting them. Pérez is more interested in the fundamental constellations of human existence and interaction than in any popular ubiquitous and increasingly hollow social criticism. Michel Pérez Pollo New Workwill be on view at the Mai 36 Galerie until December 20, 2014, Rämistrasse 37 CH-8001 Zürich

[MUSIC] Ariel Pink New Album Pom Pom Out In November

Spanning 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom is unfiltered Ariel Pink, a pied piper of the absurd, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and Jell-O. With the Los Angeles native striking it out alone and returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade, pom pom could very well be Ariel Pink's magnum opus. pom pom is Ariel Pink's third studio album for 4AD.

Listen: Ariel Pink "Black Ballerina"
