Pink Elephant Review
I went to art exhibit at the Shepard Gallery at UNR
called “Pink Elephant on Parade” The show was mostly about the weird and out of
place that people would not normally see and how people would see things when
in a sleep state. I thought it was an interesting take on it and to be honest I
thought it was making fun of Dumbo since his shows title was based on Dumbo’s drunken
scene when he was seeing the “Pink Elephants on Parade.” One work I saw was
this chair made up of different layers of material mostly sand, kitty litter,
and by the looks moon sand. Most of the
work I saw there were interesting and fit the out of the norm side of things my
favorite piece I saw was a statue covered in this goop type substance and it
looks like he is struggling to be free from it. To me I felt this was a strong
piece because interoperate it as a struggle to get out of a nightmare whether
it’s in a dream or dealing with life.
Overall I thought the exhibit was an interesting take and
the title match with theme of the exhibit. Even though there were no pink
elephants.
