Curator Albert Wang expresses the gallery’s commitment to cutting-edge works that challenge the social norms of American culture. By selecting Wolfryd, the director focuses on the artist’s dual nature, whether it be the activist’s concern for the infiltration of American corporate marketing into international markets (especially those within Mexico) or the painter’s ability to juxtapose pop art icons within the context of our post-9/11 world. The artist also incorporates cultural artifacts/goods/idols that have displaced traditional religious icons within a developing Mexico and a well-developed America while revealing his fascination and repulsion with household brands that reflect an empty idealism like a Delillo novel. For example, the painting “Peace Offering” examines the gradual erasure of multiple cultures by a superimposed McDonalds French fries executed in grisaille. By showing the dominant “god” in the foreground using dull gray tones, Wolfryd laments the disappearing uniqueness and colorfulness of a particular country invaded by the aesthetics of a multinational corporation.
