www.trenchgallery.comDavid Mayrs: After That All Hell Broke LooseTRENCH CONTEMPORARY ART, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 20-<strong>Nov</strong> 12, <strong>2011</strong> Billed as “the controversialearly paintings of Vancouver artist David Mayrs”,After That All Hell Broke Loose includes the paintingsby Vancouver artist David Mayrs that drewthe attention of Vancouver police and led to acourt case in the mid-1960s.As Michael Turner notes in a brilliant essayaccompanying the exhibition, artwork and filmproducers of the 1960s had begun to question maleprivilege and introduce “a new and emergentfemale subject, one more complex and ultimatelymore powerful than her 1950s predecessor”. In amanner similar to de Kooning’s “Woman” series,or the less painterly but still disturbing femaleimagery of Francis Bacon, David Mayrs’s satiricaland provocative paintings addressed sexuality andsocial discourse as well as a new act of painting: virulent,violent (and even voluptuous) AbstractExpressionism.As with his contemporaries Ed Ruscha in LosAngeles and Andy Warhol in New York, Mayrscame from an advertising background where theDavid Mayrs, Mirror, Mirror (1966), oil on canvas [TrenchContemporary Art, Vancouver BC, Oct 20-<strong>Nov</strong> 12]role of sex was beginning to be explored. Thelengths to which Mayrs took sexual expression inhis paintings, however, was unprecedented. For themost part it remained in local art unmatched foranother 20 years, when Attila Richard Lukacs showed his homoerotic nudes.Vancouver artists during that period included Ron Stonier, Joan Balzar, Audrey Capel-Doray, PaulWong, Roy Kiyooka and Geoff Rees. The Trench Gallery provides a rare opportunity to witness artworkreflecting the deep social changes of the period. Mia Johnson27 “25!
