Casey McGlynn grew up in rural Ontario, where he would sit in front of the television and draw on old grocery bags and scrap paper tirelessly, creating self-taught surrealist pop art. Later in life, McGlynn attended the Ontario College of Art and Design, McGlynn’s early work contains spontaneity, originality and raw energy found more often in Outsider Art. McGlynn’s work is as much about revealing the truth and expressing emotions, as it is about documenting actual fact.
My work currently deals with time, communication, interaction, and various aspects of humanness. I actively explore representation and narrative and their role in the post-everything era. I am as much a drawer as I am a painter and switch freely from one to the other utilizing whichever I feel, at the moment, will better suit my needs. I love to work with discarded materials, especially those originally used to hold, package or ship items of value since much of my work deals with the inherent disposability of time.
