Madonna, Christina, Wynona, Beyonce as You've Never Seen Them Before
• Amorous Pop Culture
Do Dawn Mellor's paintings give American female celebrities their due?
In perhaps the quintessential piece in the show, titled "Shitty Spanky Banner," a bevy of beauties stand or kneel in front of a huge American flag. A black-clad Madonna sucks off the dildo-wearing Christina Aguilera. Nearby, Wynona Ryder humps Jackie O. on a large pile of excrement, both women wearing prosthetic legs. Across from them, Beyonce spanks the naked behind of a woman wearing a white Klan hood, who turns out to be the artist (the clue: paintbrushes protruding from her ass). The artist-figure wanly waves a small British flag, which is of course dwarfed by the U.S. one.
