In her paintings and drawings, Dawn Mellor uses black humour to deconstruct the cult of the star (which appears to have been chosen in our society as a substitute for religion) and its believer–the fan.
The majority of female protagonists in her works are music icons such as Madonna, Courtney Love or Britney Spears, but there are also appearances by film actresses and figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz (alias Judy Garland), or ´glamourous´ politicians such as Hilary Clinton or Condoleezza Rice.
All are subordinated to new narrative contextualization and equipped with new symbolisms and iconographies.
