"Zoopsia" is the title of a new series of work commissioned for display at the Getty Museum by acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist Tim Hawkinson. The term "Zoopsia" refers to the visual hallucination of animals that often occur in delirium tremens. Hawkinson, a previous DailyServing feature, has created several new works using common household materials that illustrate imaginative zoological forms. "Octopus," shown above, is a photo-collage constructed out of images of the artist's hands, lips and mouth. In addition, the artist's "Uberorgan" will make its West Coast debut in the Museum Entrance Hall. "Zoopsia" was reviewed in this month's Modern Painters.Hawkinson was recently featured in a retrospective exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in February 2005 and is currently represented by Ace Gallery in Los Angeles.
