About the Item
Mitch McGee, Don't Try So Hard, Limited Edition Pop Art Print, Silkscreen, Edition of 40. Image is 20" round, paper size 24x24. Each signed and numbered. It is currently framed to 25x25.
The influences for McGee's own artwork came from the style of Pop Art legend, Roy Lichtenstein. According to McGee, "Lichtenstein with a Red Bow was the first piece that started me down this rabbit hole. Roy Lichtenstein took comic strips and repositioned them as lithography. In an almost tongue-in-cheek fashion I wondered how I could take one of his pieces and recreate it in another medium. The easy answer for me was wood. I grew up working with it and, combined with my graphic design background, it left me with a new medium and expression that I think really works." From that start, Houston artist, McGee began to create his own style and establish his unique voice.
Today, his creativity exists in that space between painting and sculpture. In his Birch series, McGee uses pieces of wood, each illustrated, hand cut and stained or painted to create dimensional pieces. Each painting is filled with thick layers and subtle shadows. There is a warmth created by the imperfection of the birch and its grain that creates an emotional connection. Each painting is a labor of love, taking 40 to 50 hours or more to complete.
McGee has created original works inspired by Superhero comics, Sports icons, as well as romantic moments using thick lines and bold colors to bring these scenes to life in his own way. Each artwork is filled with humor, irony, compassion or seduction.
His artwork has been exhibited throughout Texas since 2001 and in New York with Elisa Contemporary Art since 2012. His work is public and private collections throughout the world in the US, Europe and Asia. Mitch McGee’s artwork has been featured in Architectural Digest Germany, on the cover of Connecticut Home & Design Guide, in Dwell Magazine and W Magazine.

Mitch McGee
Mitch McGee’s layered birch wall works are conceptually grounded in the style of Pop Art legend, Roy Lichtenstein. Specifically citing Lichtenstein’s ‘Girl With Hair Ribbon’, 1965 as McGee’s first major re-appropriation in this arena, he produced his own version ’Lichtenstein with a Red Bow’, 2011 setting in motion this iconic body of work. With an a long history of wood working during his upbringing, and a background in graphic design, McGee develops this unique practice of three-dimensional wall works drawing from his diverse relationship to material and design. Hand cut, oil stained layered birch into tiered dimensions then colored with acrylic paint, McGee illustrates his work with comic book superheroes and sports icons, cinematic gestures and romantic moments akin to the silver screen. McGee’s subject matter draws from a range of highly charged scenarios and narratives illuminated by the bold colors and a distinct physicality of his practice.
