Elizabeth Fox: The Paris Hilton-ization of “American Desire”

It’s not too late to catch Elizabeth Fox’s “American Desire” exhibit at the d.o.c.s. gallery in New Orleans, which runs until the end of May. But first, read Doug MacCash’s incisive Times-Picayune review to “get” where Elizabeth is coming from.

Not in the Crescent City? Visit Fox’s site to see more of her fabulously cool work — paintings that MacCash calls both subversive and “as slick and shiny as freshly polished toenails.” I, of course, like the tiny dog with the pink fedora in Pink Fedora (pictured above.) That’s hot!

5.26.07 Update: I received a lovely note from Elizabeth Fox about this post and an important clarification. Pink Fedora is loosely based on Britney Spears not Paris Hilton. Of course! Who could forget this image of Britney, Kevin Federline and Bit Bit from the 2004 Billboard Music Awards? I must have become so caught up in the Paris Hilton motif of Doug McCash’s review, that I forgot Paris wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere near a pink fedora. Thanks Elizabeth — keep in touch.
