is proud to present the work of Golden Harvest Industries as the latest
in our series of postal exhibitions. For close to two decades, under a
variety of aliases, Golden Harvest Industries has been a staple of
Liverpool’s left-field underground as an illusrator, performance
artist, musician and voice of radical discontent. Sharing a name with an obscure kung-fu movie collection and one of India’s leading healthcare equipment import/export businesses, the creative output of Golden Harvest Industries is hard to google, and much of it sounds like a joke or urban myth when you try to explain it to people - a combination of Chris Burden and Vic Reeves. However, if you were present for Car On The Dancefloor, Kayfabemania, or Sounds From The Other City 2015; if you have witnessed the all-out sonic assault of Bodies On Everest or if you follow @necrobutcher187 on twitter you might have some idea of the indefatigable creative energy and unique sense of humour that have guided Golden Harvest Industries’ work. Consistent throughout all of this has been GHI’s drawing practice, which resembles the work of Raymond Pettibon if he worked for Viz. Full of raging id, the drawings depict leather-clad muscle-men, weird sex, intense violence, mutant creatures straight out of 80’s schlock-horror, iconic childhood favourites being demeaned and destroyed, and scrawled text with a surprising undercurrent of emotional depth. The artist himself explains; I've been drawing for years. It's all I really like doing besides maybe walking. If you rank the joy I get out of any particular activity, next would be the fruit machines, then laughing at people, and finally losing the plot and swearing. In that way, I don’t do it for anyone else. This is Robocop with lawnmower blades for hands causing utter shit, to say it has any grand message beyond it being extremely fun and outrageous to have drawn would be stretching the truth. Sometimes that's what this is for, sometimes I need a sit down, often, I need a sit down and a laugh. That's why I pull up a stool on the fruit machines.
