Jack McLean, One Eye Bastard, mixed media.
Deriding Japan’s salary-man culture is the theme of the Scottish Tokyo-based artist Jack McLean’s exhibition, Salt Mine, at The Container. The artist, who is best known to the art scene through his reactionary action works, such as digging a hole in parks or setting sculptures on fire, is presenting a playful sculptural installation on unfinished planks of wood, reminiscent of Manga characters.
