Lunchtime dystopia: CON-Figuration at Postmasters

There was a two part installation at Postmasters. The artist of interest is Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung with his large scale digital paintings. He displays them as printed canvas, this particular one being 40 x 72 inches. It depicts Obama as the many armed Goddess Durga with a golden crown, with an 'adoring audience of small foreign leaders". It is completely sourced from the internet and collaged into a vividly colored piece. It also references traditional Mysore paintings from South India, with symbolism and color palette and composition. This was displayed recently, after Trump's inauguration, and the press relief was simple and short, finishing with 'In dark times will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing about the dark times.'
