 Le Merde Show May 3rd
Super7 Presents: Le Merde
Le Merde is Portland based artist Mike Kelly. His work ranges from paintings and sculpture to hand cast figures. He draws inspiration from all walks of pop-culture, including heavy metal music and 1970’s cartoon characters. He is part of the art collective Grass Hut which includes Bwana Spoons, Martin Ontiveros, Apak and Scrappers. More of his work can be seen at www.lemerde.com.
Le Merde once again brings his own distinctive brand of art to the walls of Super7 when “Let’s Get Turdical” opens Saturday, May 3rd from 7-11 pm running through the end of the month!

 Re: Le Merde Show May 3rd
Just saw a preview. If you're within driving distance and were debating... just do it and be here. You should be here even if you're not within driving distance. Le merde brought the heat and everything is a knockout. Merdeheads should rejoice.

Beautiful pieces. He even painted a full-size Gargamel Zag in familiar colors (as well as a series of other Gargamel figures). Nice.
