#GAY TWINK FROM MHA SKIN#
The dominant skin tone is a distinctive, faded sickly green hue-think again the almighty dollar-bringing a hint of the macabre and fantastical to contemporary and recognizable scenes. The striated inscription of curving lines suggests sagging, creased, and desiccated flesh. He renders skin as successive lines, similar to the patterned lines on American currency or timeworn lines of tree rings. Working in watercolor pencil on mylar, Chadsey takes several months to complete each drawing, painstakingly filling in the details of his motley crew. While he readily borrows faces, bodies, and poses, he reinterprets them aggressively in an obsessive drawing style, never losing his sense of the medium in a flurry of recognizable and shocking imagery. Where else can you see a homoerotic image of 50-year-olds in an let-it-all-hang-out atmosphere with no twink in sight?Ĭhadsey’s talent doesn’t rest in the passive enterprise of googling and photoshopping a literal cut-and-paste menagerie of heads. Its Americana-gone-wild narrative is open-ended and the scene, however jolting, draws you in, perhaps because of its novelty. A closer look, however, reveals that one bather resembles President George Washington, and another Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

In one drawing in which he has borrowed a scene from a gay vacation Web site, Chadsey depicts a group of mostly middle aged men hanging out in a palm tree-lined pool. Chadsey transfigures their photo-based, recognizable features into unrecognizable bizarre hybrids in which the glamour, desire, fear, and longing are diffused and reconstituted into a flesh tingling grotesquerie of characters.Īnother section of drawings depicts more romanticized homoerotic encounters whose base images Chadsey takes from gay-themed Web sites and his own trove of photography, yet his mix of characters is no less disquieting. In one section of drawings, Snoop Dogg, Juvenile, Lil’ Bow Wow, and Kate Moss make appearances, but they are not in character as sex-obsessed, teeth baring thuggish demi-gods or a swooning high-fashion demi-goddess. What makes you flinch is the way in which the artist combines characteristics from each well-worn cliché to paint a different view of American culture in which sexuality, gender, and race are highly interchangeable. In Geoffrey Chadsey first solo show of drawings, the artist has created a strangely affecting range of characters studies and narrative scenes inspired by contemporary and historical Americana from hip hop to high fashion, from former presidents to the current Republican administration, and from gay men on the prowl to gay men on vacation. Geoffrey Chadsey presents drawings arresting in their startling juxtapose of familiar figures
