Amongst artists born in a certain period of time there is an affinity for
the animated iconography of the 1980's. In April Meltdown Gallery presents
GAG ME WITH A TOON, a new works exhibition that will showcase the work of
more than twenty creative souls who have been tainted with the neon fruit
stripe of Morning in America. Utilizing everything from the saccharine funk
of Strawberry Shortcake to the disciplined fashion fervor of the Baroness of
Cobra these artists will explore the sketchy in-betweens of animated
femininity. In the gallery we shall weigh the sins of Scrappy-Doo and
balance them against the irreligious inclusion of Godzuki, Baby Plas and
7-Zark-7. A measure will be made of thunderous barbarians and thunderous
cats and of friends both super and amazing. Be ye short and blue or bionic,
a real he-man or just your average joe, you will find yourself transformed
after having stood amongst the time-displaced art of these stellar talents.
