Fruit and Babies

This series of paintings is inspired by the rich food culture of New Orleans and south Louisiana where I grew up. The plastic babies I depict are known as ‘King Cake Babies.’ They are placed inside King Cakes, a cinnamon filled pastry-like cake eaten during Mardi Gras season. Tradition has it that whoever gets the baby throws the next party. Growing up, we kids made a game of finding the baby in the cake.
In this body of work, I am reinvestigating my interest in King Cake Babies, fruit and hot sauce for new purposes: visual one liners, a starting point for a dialogue about human subjects like race relations and intimacy.
Dizzy’s a proud participant of Dine In Brooklyn will be serving a three course dinner from 6 pm to 10 pm Monday through Sunday until March 31st.

Portrait David Byrne by Jon Tebeau.
“I’ve tried to capture elements of all this in this portrait. The stately presentation implies his seriousness of purpose and dignity. The letters and dancers behind him are a nod to his on-stage showmanship and visual presentation. I’ve included the lamp from “Stop Making Sense” and a “tiger walking behind him” from his latest album, as well as Bugs Bunny and Pan, two of the great Trickster icons. The sun, moon, trees and flowers lend a cosmic air to the picture. And the angelic cherry on top of his whipped cream hair is an absurdist, but meaningfully playful touch. The spacey glyphs to the right are best viewed by tilting your head 90 degrees to your left.”
