Acrylic on canvas
This painting depicts the torso of a child in a playground. The child is posing facing the viewer with arms akimbo and wears a large, white T-shirt bearing the cover for Mexican child pop star Fey’s debut album (1995). The T-shirt has been knotted at one side and a scrunchie adorns the knot, giving the T-shirt the look of a crop top, the same way Fey herself used to wear it. I wanted the look of the playground, the scrunchies, the high-waisted blue jeans and the Fey reference all to remind of the nineties in Mexico City. Fey is a complex element for me. Many people remember her as a bubbly, somewhat silly, pop figure delivering music for children. However, over time, I have come to develop a great appreciation for her songs, including some of the lesser-known ones, her highly-challenging and poetic lyrics and her role as a trendsetter. Also, I see in her a talented performer, with quality musical work behind her, who was often marketed and received as over-simplified and made to be cute, when there was more to her than that.
