Dodd Galleries continues their online summer programming with Makeover Kingdoman exhibition by MFA alumna Cobra McVey
The works in Makeover Kingdom, built out of various plastics and throw-away things, are made distinct by McVey’s humorous and outlandish accoutrements. Two buck “teeth” are added to the pink puffed lips of the High Priest. Fake bejeweled nails jut out of the Queen. A shiny blue eye patch adorns the Lord of War. She essentially gives these items makeovers, refashioning them all at once into glamorous and sinister stuff. She states, “I want each assemblages to be simultaneously adorable and vulgar, humorous and pathetic, child-appropriate and obscene.” Whereas I left Target defeated, McVey would have seen art — more plastic crap to transform into magical dark beings.
