Under the Influence: He-Man
An awesome art show, by the power of Greyskull
Opening party Friday; show runs to the end of the month at
Gallery1988: 7020 Melrose Blvd; Mid-Wilshire
When you're a kid, it's perfectly acceptable to fully
immerse yourself in a bizarre fantasy world, which is ironic
because now mom's bras actually fit. Revisit the fantasies
you admitted to with the Under The Influence: He-Man And The
Masters Of The Universe art show.
UTI's an art show entirely composed of works based on your
childhood's bed-wetting obsession, Masters of the Universe,
with an added bonus: the intimate Gallery1988 space has been
completely transformed into the interior of Castle
Greyskull, with moss-laden brick walls, prehistoric-looking
ferns, and a giant, foam-based sabre-tooth-mouth-entrance
procured directly from the He-Man war-room in the offices of
Mattel, whose printers print with the power of grey scale!
Art runs the gamut, with a number of ultra-serious works,
including a classic matte painting of Skeletor about to open
a round of whup-ass on He-man, an intricate, 9'x6'
hyper-detailed ode to Battle Cat, and a straightforward,
aged-looking painting of Orko, the comic-relief sidekick who
was blue with pointy ears, trendsetting imagination even
James Cameron couldn't imagine. There're also a slew of
silly takes on the characters, like a series of colorful
villainistic watercolors (Triclops/Clawful/Faker/etc), as
well as one depicting the characters performing mundane
every-day tasks, i.e., Skeletor going to the dentist, and
He-Man getting a haircut, but sadly no Skunk Man sitting
friendless in his nightly tomato jacuzzi.
All the art's also on-sale, with 15% of the proceeds going
to the Make-A-Wish Foundation; in addition, Friday's opening
party'll debut both a brand new action figure and a comic
book cover featuring a Make-A-Wish kid, though luckily not
yours, because his parents already have a daughter.
Mention Thrillist at the door to bypass the line on opening
night, and get a taste of the art at Gallery1988.blogspot.com:
