The Finish sculptor’s set of characters culled from Saturday morning cartoons and Japanese anime become utterly trippy in these life-size incarnations (some are platinum-clad). For all their iconic cuteness, the emotions and subjects conveyed by these smoothed statues of young girls, animals and rabbit-eared cyborgs are surprisingly complex. Adolescent defiance and socialization emerge as recurring concerns in their alternately proud, humbled and mournful poses.
Closes 5/24.
This review will appear in the May 7 issue of The L Magazine.
