Iconoclasts: Kilduff’s Saloon, est. 2021 I John Kilduff
Presented by bG Gallery
Los Angeles-based artist John Kilduff has created an interactive installation at the fair built from paintings and cardboard sculptures to look like a neighborhood bar establishment. Attendees will have the opportunity to step into the immersive installation and order ‘drinks’ hand-painted by the artist. Kilduff will create new paintings of cocktails and specialty drinks daily. Participants will have the opportunity to order what is on tap or, when the artist is in, order custom drinks off-menu. A portion of the proceeds will go to supporting bar and venue workers who are experiencing financial hardships due to the pandemic.
Based in Los Angeles John Kilduff, aka Mr Let’s Paint, is known for his daring performance art and his television show, Let’s Paint TV. Through his show and work, Kilduff pushes his painting endurance through a series of multitasking and painting challenges to encourage audiences to embrace creativity and self-expression through life’s obstacles.
