SUMMARY:Buyer's Club Gallery: Buyer's Club: I Did a Baad Thing
DESCRIPTION:I DID A BAAD THING\nAn exhibition of paintings concerning Ameri
 ca’s problem: Power &amp\; Money\n\nBuyers Club\, Liverpool\n2nd Novembe
 r - January 2023\nFree &amp\; Open to All\n\nThe paintings in this show ar
 e about the bad decisions that seem to happen on a loop.\n\nDecisions that
  have the least worst effect on those that make them.\n\nDecisions made by
  government men in power and in the pursuit of more\, more\, more.\n\nThis
  shit-sandwich of domestic and foreign policy-making is made easy-on-the e
 ye because I’ve put cash-money on one painting\, glitter on two and 23ct
  gold leaf on another. I’m Austin\, hello\, I made the paintings with my
  brain and my hands. I’ve spent most of my life working in the music ind
 ustry\, but nowadays I only work with lettering: painting murals\, designi
 ng logos and old-school sign writing.\n\nWith this exhibition\, I’m not 
 trying to depict a strong dislike of America - and that’s because l ador
 e large bits of it. I’m named after an American serviceman and\, by prox
 y\, a musical city in Texas. I spent my early teenage years beguiled by Am
 erica’s cultural exports. This started with The Wonder Years\, a TV seri
 es set in 60s &amp\; 70s Anytown U.S.A and this curiosity was subsequently
  cemented in parks by skateboard culture. Then hip-hop happened and change
 d everything. I started writing graffiti in 1989\, which roots my love of 
 lettering. Through the lyrics of Grandmaster Melle Mel\, Chuck D\, KRS One
  and Gil Scott Heron: I began to understand an America that defo wasn’t 
 Disney.\n\nWhilst painting the show\, I have asked myself why I’m fixate
 d with the near history of a foreign country? One answer is this: it’s a
  mind holiday for me\, some time distance away from the present political 
 situation in the country I call home. Concealed within one of the pieces\,
  I’ve painted a penis on Jacob Rees-Mogg’s face.\n\nWherever you live:
  Life is Nothing Without Balance.
