Digesting images and objects from popular culture, artists April Childers, David Leggett and Max Maslansky take on the roles of both cultural deviants and comedians, delivering hard and fast truths through urgent expression. Childers’ sculptures use found objects alongside constructed supports that frame an intuitive symbology which pulls from cartoons, dollar store detritus, ghostly imagery and taxidermy. Leggett’s paintings, sprinkled with craft materials such as felt, pom poms and wiggle eyes, directly and playfully address racially loaded moments of self-identification. Maslansky’s paintings—often made on old bedsheets—come out of an archive of images self-consciously scavenged from the depths of the internet, probing into the comical absurdities of voyeurism and the male ego.
