The McCaig-Welles & Rosenthal Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by the artist Greg Haberny titled “The Glory Hole.”
With the stimulus payments at an end, Americans now have fewer buffers between their pocketbooks and higher energy costs, falling home values and the tight credit market. Companies and investors are bracing for spending to fall even further this year, so why not visit “The Glory Hole”?
A tribute to modern society’s vices and ills, a symbolic spectacle of contemporary information overload based on the current climate of politics, race and religion and their marriage to the corporate money machine that sucks the life out of our already stressed civilization. In the “Pre-Apocalyptic Expressionist” style (a blend of street and conceptual art), there will be works created using guns, explosives, fire and, most importantly, paint.
The installation will pay homage to America’s housing debacle as artist Greg Haberny unapologetically fills a much-needed niche in affordable housing: affordable art.
