Beachcomber, 2008

D. Dominick Lombardi, in Apocalyptic Pop, at Dorsky Gallery.

The back... it's an armature of plastic toys and objects - found beach detritus? - painted and covered in sand.

Seal of approval.

Frankensteins's monster, Simpsonized and sand-blasted, eroding. Makes me think of some of the Joyce Pensato drawings, which were so shredded.

The stance is like that famous Boccioni sculpture... Unique Forms of Continuity in Space... plus Composer Bust.

Dog in hair.

Eyeball arm stalk.

Whistling Bird, 1998

This piece pre-dates Beachcomber by ten years. They are both denizens of an imagined future in which animal, plant, and consumer-goods DNA has merged. Whistling Bird was genetically modified to be clean, cute, and flightless.

Eye.
