The Transgressive Scott LoBaido
James Panero at The New Criterion alerts us to the work of the deeply subversive artist Scott LoBaido. You can read more and see examples here and here, but I feel my links may be irresponsible -- we're talking some seriously transgressive stuff.
Inside, Lobaido's painting of a mounted, armor-clad Rudolph Giuliani riding through the ruins of the Twin Towers hangs over the bar.... This painting is not ironic. Nor was another of Lobaido's giant canvases, this one hanged (yes) in October of '01 inside the uncompleted steel frame of a four-story building along the highway shopping strip of Hylan Boulevard in southern Staten Island. It depicted an angry Uncle Sam -- nearly foaming at the mouth, as it seemed -- holding the severed heads of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
Umie the Umlaut says, "ask your doctor about the Fredösphere!"
