Paul McCarthy is widely considered to be one of the most influential and groundbreaking artists of today. Using the language and imagery of the all-pervasive American consumer culture he grew up with, his work distorts and mutates the familiar into the disturbing and carnivalesque. McCarthy first became known in the 1970s for his visceral performances and film works but during the 1990s extended his practice into stand alone sculptural figures, installations and most recently a series of large inflatable sculptures. In the week that he installs the largest-ever inflatable sculptures outdoor on Tate Modern's north landscape, Paul McCarthy talks about his these and other works.
