Mike Kelley
Pansy Metal/Clovered Hoof

Kelley's unholy mix of skulls, national emblems, religious iconography, Satanism and heavy metal belies any coherent explanation. His banners and flags fly for a decadent and lampooned counter culture. Even the Swastika featured on one banner is stripped of its visual potency by being adorned with male genitalia. Originally conceived as outfits for a performance Kelley did with the dancer Anita Pace and performed on a cat walk style ramp to music from Motorhead. These 10 China Habotai silk banners are each nummeriert and signed by Kelley, one of the most influential and revered artists of our time.
