HIS WORK IN CHICAGO MUSEUM
By Ayesha Morris
Copyright 2008 Virgin Islands Daily News
Flinging tubes of paint against canvas is John McCarthy’s signature. The resulting streaks, created from drips or strings of Utrecht oil colors, are his abstract imaginings.
“It’s how I prefer to paint,” 45-year-old McCarthy, co-owner of 4 STAR REAL ESTATE in Gallows Bay on St. Croix. “I’m hoping this will be my trademark style.”
That style is being showcased at Chicago’s Aldo Castillo Contemporary Arts Museum where five of his paintings will be exhibited as part of a group show on view today until Oct. 11.
The exhibit is tiled “The Art of Buying Art: Important and Collectable Original Art Under $500.”
The gallery will display McCarthy’s “Cow Skull Sunrise,” “Venus Fly Trap,” “Warhol Does Pollock,” “Yellow Stairs,” and “Syringe Effect: Death Throes.”
His work is among that of more than 20 artists in the show.
“This exhibition is consistent with our curator Aldo Castillo’s mission of promoting and exposing the work of emerging and established world-wide artists and to the advancement of art education for children and the community as a whole,” according to a statement from the gallery.
McCarthy, a former television and print journalist for Channel 8 and the St. Croix Avis, has been painting for 27 years since he got his start in college. Though he was not formally trained in art, the Detroit-born McCarthy studied art history. He has lived in the Virgin Islands for the last 20 years.
