Corey Lunn

Corey Lunn creates obsessively articulated drawings, sculptures, wooden and foam carvings, animations and sound works. His work constructs and reflects bizarre, tangential and absurd narratives. Depicting surreal landscapes, hybrid animals and the foibles of the common man, Lunn’s worlds are made up with equal parts dark comedy and social commentary. For this special commission by PICA, Lunn presents forces of “nature” that dispense provisions to the people. This magical totem is plagued by “little men” who upend the monument’s cultural significance. The artist describes the work as creating a state of confusion in which the only read is “befuddlement and an implication in one's own misunderstanding.”

Lunn was recently included in the survey show High Five: Emerging Art and America, presented by the CW Network (CA), and as a part of It’s Kind of Endless at Quality Pictures (OR). His drawings were recently published in the anthology Beast, published by Fantagraphics. This is Lunn’s first major solo exhibition.
