About the Item
Mash Buhtaydusss launched in 2016, when painter Barbie L’Hoste and photographer Brandt Vicknair, both native to New Orleans, decided to merge their respective art mediums. Witnessing the appropriation of culture within their hometown, the duo was moved to create abstract stories that reflect on the absurdities, which surround us, while simultaneously displaying parts of our world that have been casually discarded or irreverently taken from us. Brandt’s documentation of abandoned spaces reveal hidden stages that are given an encore with Barbie’s invention of imaginative landscapes through paint and collage. Heavy use of satire and nostalgia punctuate each story as the pair address issues most of us worry about: the human condition, excessive voyeurism, the environment, materialism, and social media obsession. In order to assign a greater meaning to the ridiculous events in the world, the team breathes new life into Brandt’s carefully chosen, decayed spaces by reinterpreting the original intentions of classic imagery. Barbie invites unlikely characters to join the narrative, and their pieces become a metaphor for our countless collective personas on social media. These figures are accompanied by reminders of pop-culture, corruption, and perversion, which clash with the ideals of naivety and youth to reveal hard truths. Mash Buhtaydusss is giving these structures a chance to have a permanent existence by giving them life through stories. While their collaborative name is a reflection of their sense of humor, these stories are sincerely personal, ironic, and open for interpretation.
STATEMENT:
Mash Buhtaydusss is a collaborative art duo native to New Orleans, LA. Barbie L’Hoste and Brandt Vicknair merge to create new worlds from old abandonments. Photographs printed on canvas are combined with mixed media elements including stencils, collage, transparency, paint, and found objects. The team breathes new life into decaying spaces by inviting unlikely characters to join them. These characters aid in the invention of imaginative landscapes that become metanarratives in a series of surreal events and interpretive disappointments. Heavy use of satire, nostalgia, and absurdity punctuate each story as they explore the human condition and more closely examine our predisposition to assign a greater meaning to the ridiculous events of our own lives. A reality of popular culture, social media, corruption, and perversion clash with the ideals of youth to reveal hard truths. In the moments of these abstract stories, we are able to witness the last bits of innocence escape while thinking about the parts of our world that have casually been discarded.

“Good artists borrow. Great artists steal.” A quote oft attributed to various sources that was never actually uttered by any of them. Though Mark Twain elaborated on the sentiment: “Ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms.” In the Framed Series, I use my 1% contribution to combine issues of consumption with my autobiography.
I paint copies of copies of paintings within paintings to reference the appropriation, commodification, and altered continuum of art. My paintings of paintings are based on photographs of originals to perpetuate the continual distillation of form, given the ease with which images are presently exchanged and modified. Further, by reducing historically significant paintings to framed objects hanging on walls, I augment art as a commodity and reconcile the conflict between the artificially assigned monetary value of artworks with the reality that they are simply swirls of paint. In this way, I am also acknowledging the literality of my own work.
I have also altered each copied painting to personalize the context of the pieces and address specific autobiographical ideas. These ideas relate to a range of both recent and distant experiences, both funny and sad.
Although my initial renderings are digital image composites, my medium of choice is oil paint, applied in transparent layers, using the image on the computer screen as a reference. In addition to its lush visual properties, I enjoy the flexibility of oil paint in making acute renderings as well as the evolution of the imagery from paint to digital and back to paint in further protracting both the distillation and evolution of form.
