(KEITH) BOADWEE BUTT

I hadnt seent he work of Keith Boadwee since the 90s. He's gotten fat and the work has inched forward a bit. it's amusing and most certainly takes commitment. But it amkes me ponder if a body-of-color (ie Black, asian yadda yadda) could do the same work without being layered with other issues (in the white-European dominated art-market of the so-called "west")This piece (above)reminds me of Pia's work
