Patrick Hobaugh: the Things Dreams Are Made of July 17, 2009

This collection of recent still life paintings of Patrick Hobaugh feature children's action figures staged in fantastical scenarios from allegories to massacres. The work focuses on the idea of the ubiquitous Hero found in religion, war, politics, mythology, and personal/social relationships. It is a window into the world where children's mythos of heroes and villains are formed--they are the things dreams are made of.
