We Ate the Acid

Joe Roberts has worked as an artist in San Francisco for more than a decade. His mixed media work has been released in various formats over the years and shown nationwide to great acclaim. Joe creates artwork which represents a variety of mixed media formats and is reminiscent of work from Jean-Michel Basquiat and Joseph Cornell. Collage, paintings, diorama and figurines all play a role in the world he has created and is constantly reinterpreting. Roberts has collaborated with musicians, filmmakers, and streetwear companies, most recently with Supreme for their 2017 fall line.Hamilton Morris is an American writer, documentarian, and scientific researcher who lives in Brooklyn, New York. He created a series for Vice entitled Hamilton's Pharmacopeia documenting the history and effects of drugs on society and human health.

Joe Roberts draws on pop-cultural imagery from the 1960s to the ’90s, filtering them through his own experiences, and re-presenting them in mixed-media works that recall Mike Kelley or Chris Johanson. Mickey Mouse, Casper, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all make appearances, but here they’re dropping acid or eating pizza, fellow travelers in Roberts’s personal journey. -Hyperallergic
