It’s been a hell of a ride for Jayson Musson, the mutli-disciplinary artist known to many as the YouTube art critic — and self-described “Mr. Museums” — Hennessy Youngman, from being deemed a “virgin” of the New York art world, to being scooped up by Salon 94, where he will have his first solo exhibition next week. “Halcyon Days,” which runs July 11-August 17 at the gallery’s Bowery location, will feature a new body of works on canvas inspired by the psychedelic patterns of Coogi sweaters.
In the exhibition press release, Musson recalls the April 2011 epiphany that first sparked his interest in the Australian streetwear brand’s riotous knitwear.
The thing I found most alluring about Coogi sweaters was how painterly they were.They seemingly lingered on the borders of gestural abstraction. I made the joke, “That Coogi looks like a Pollock”. Over the course of the following weeks, I began collecting images of the sweaters, studying their composition. They seemed to defy the traditional logic of the textile, opting instead to appear spontaneous and created by hand rather than machine-made. Each sweater, though a manufactured object seemed to seek its own authenticity. Even the old Coogi slogan “Wearable Art” seemed to confirm the desire for each sweater to be considered an objet unique, a specialized commodity.
The new series marks his first foray into abstraction — his preceding work is figurative, and most of it includes text — with each composition beginning as an attempt to deconstruct a sweater’s pattern.
Musson can be seen wearing a typically colorful Coogi sweater in this classic Hennessy Youngman video:
The sweater was such a conspicuous feature of the video that he felt it necessary to prove that it was indeed an authentic Coogi in a subsequent video:

Dudelooks like a total poseur, asshole-douchebag prick
There is more to this gentleman than meets your eye, douchebag.
Yes,there is MUCH more, but I’ve already focused on his positives
Ayooo David’s y’all are straight herbs. He’s fresh to def so stop fronting and take an anger management class and jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Stop playing yourself. The paintings will be dope and he’s actually a breaf of fresh air in the foo foo sometimes mad corny world of contemporary art. STRAIGHT HERBS. Y’all need to get snuffed.
The wok is the finest cooking equipment for people who are
well being conscious or have been asked to cut down the intake of oily foods as the wok requires really small oil to cook food.
Applying a modest amount of oil on the whole wok will stop it
from rusting.Good luck and delight in cooking you cast iron wok.
In the occasion you assess them from the point of view of
heat retention, the woks are excellent.Then add the squid and toss.
After cleaning it, apply a little oil and wipe with a tissue to spread the oils along the wok’s surface to avoid it from rusting.There’s
also much less chance of burring oneself especially when unloading food onto
plates.If you use cast iron woks as an alternative, you will not
need to worry about sticking.The largest advantage of making use
of a wok for cooking is that it is quick to clean this vessel.
Wait till the oil is about 150 degrees and then add half your squid.
You need to steer clear of it.After this is done, take a number of paper towels and dip them in oil.
You can cook for about 1 minute or till the squid begins
to colour.However, a single needs to add a tiny much more oil while preparing food in stainless steel wok than in the other kinds of woks.
Basically use this kind of wok to prepare healthful and tasty foods like veggies.
