George Mosher

George Mosher, also known as Bingus Blaine, is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist and writer originally from Chicago. He is the architect of the world and mythology of Sloins — hive-minded organisms that endlessly evolve in sync with a constant, pulsing force known as The Thump. What began as childhood doodles have since grown into a complex, systematic lore documented through pencil illustrations, multimedia sculptures, and mystical texts. Mosher’s work balances precision with chaos. His compositions recall early experiments within the confined spaces of textbook margins, draw on the symmetry of Byzantine art, and channel the visual logic of medieval alchemical manuscripts. The works play with parallax, revealing shifting dimensions depending on the viewer’s distance. Sloins and their deities, beings of diverse form and textures, grotesquely fixate on fragments of the human flesh. Influenced by 80s body horror films, Mosher leans into the freakiness of forms, exploring the absurdity of embodiment by rearranging the familiar into the uncanny. This creates a persistent tension between empathy and discomfort that is central to the emotional atmosphere of the work. The symbols and stories scattered across his practice are remnants of mythologies told by the homunculi, which are represented in his sculptural repertoire. These creatures engage in relatable, human-like behavior, while the Sloin drawings serve as their imagined spiritual or mythic framework. Through their journeys, rituals, joys, and struggles, the homunculi and the Sloins together mirror aspects of our world. While the logic of this universe is created through careful use of science and magic, Mosher leaves room for ambiguity– inviting viewers to fill in the gaps and question what lies beyond.
