Grooves from the Deep: and the space math of George Clinton

Artist, alchemist, mothership captain, and funk innovator,
George Clinton draws inspiration from his music, and the
funk that runs through it. Embodying Afro-futuristic
practices used to describe his work, Clinton remixes history,

culture, and technology to create cosmic cheat codes for

future generations.
"Grooves from the Deep" is an exhibition of paintings that
teleports viewers to the inner-outer spaces of George
Clinton's imagination. New iterations of the mothership,
atomic dog, and popular funk imagery emerge frequently
in the work. Inspired by the things we cannot yet see or
imagine from the vantage point of earth, Clinton explores
the nature of humanity space geographies, and the
possibilities of living off planet.
Illustrated through hybrid animal and human forms,
Clinton's recent body of work is a rumination on the
codes of our DNA and its conversation with the cosmos.
From the bizarre to the whimsical to the surreal, Clinton
invites viewers to step through portals that inspire new
ways of knowing and navigating uncertainty.
Grooves from the Deep is George Clinton's first solo
museum exhibition.
