{"product_id":"mindviscosity-9781683963707","title":"Mindviscosity","description":"Furie's cheerful, anthropomorphic comics character, Pepe the Frog, became a meme that was appropriated by hate groups (as seen in the documentary \u003cem\u003eFeels Good Man\u003c\/em\u003e, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.) Furie's recent paintings reflect this experience. This is a showcase for an unsettling menagerie; creatures seem to be hiding their true intentions. Furie is plumbing darker depths in these works, despite the paintings' inviting colors and friendly cartoon iconography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFurie, Matt:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMatt Furie\u003c\/strong\u003e is from Columbus, Ohio.
