Heroin, oil on canvas, 31″ x 31″, 2008

In Dickson Schneider‘s fashion series paintings, he uses models that are placed in the fine arts contexts such as in the art gallery or museum setting. In this painting entitled “Heroin”, a super-model drifts past an imaginary Keith Haring painting while showing off her beautiful handbag. The title connotes and references Keith Haring’s infamous drug addiction, while the painting creates a deliberate dissonance between the real/unreal and desire/humor.
