Dawn Mellor takes popular female icons like Madonna, Courtney Love, Britney Spears and even Hillary Clinton, and paints them into narratives in which the artist herself plays a fictional role--as a sadistic voyeur, a pathological pornographer, or a murderous stalker. Mellor's blackly humorous scenarios are rendered in a style that simultaneously evokes Surrealism, Pop art and the underground trashiness of a Joe Coleman.
