  • Doll Parts – The Art of Lost Fish

    07.28.10

    “Doll Parts” is the aptly named latest exhibition of Elodie/Lost Fish. Lost Fish mixes innocence with sexuality and evil in her precious, delightful illustrations. Uber-cute, teary-eyed tiny girls with a melancholy expression, bud mouths, hyperrealistic porcelain-white faces and rouged cheeks are the subjects of her painstakingly rendered digital art. Baby faces and symbols of childhood abound. There are murderous-seeming aristocrats, darling deformities of children, lovelorn cyborgs, and all the accoutrements of such precious beings, including teacups, cakes, ribbons, flowers, and pet creatures. They seem yearning, hurt, vulnerable, and wicked by turns. There are Lolita, fetish, and cyberpunk overtones. The resultant imagery is almost too cute for words: the epitome of innocent and corrupted dollflesh.
