Patrick Martinez delivered a killer collection of art last Friday night at Known Gallery. Using paint, sculpture, and neon, Martinez satirizes America's culture of hustling, worship of the almighty $$$, and the way corporations infest our lives. Martinez indicts both the purveyors and the consumers of fast-food culture in a way that manages to be both scary and funny. Check this one out at Known Gallery if you haven't already.
