Exhibit: "The Saints"
Artist: Gajin Fugita
Location: The Contemporary Arts Center, 900 Camp St.
Rating: Whatever
As a Crescent City Football fan I love Fugita's painting that combines graffiti, gold leaf, a kabuki mask and the New Orleans Saints logo. But as an art critic, not so much. Yo, Gajin, we appreciate the hometown team shout-out, but the whole pop/graffiti aesthetic is oh so dated and dull.
Prospect.1 is a biennial of international contemporary art at sites throughout New Orleans through Jan. 18. Read more reviews at nola.com/art and complete details at www.prospectneworleans.org.
