Fringe’s series of double love portraits, of Donald & Daffy Duck, and Charlie Brown with Snoopy for example, make universal statements about cohesion in a fractured world. The paintings are messages of reassurance, given that the characters are so familiar, and their friendships are some of the most iconic love stories on earth. Added to the familiarity is the recurring theme of love as a fabrication of street art, expressed through spray-can hearts as a matrix. The work is joyfully precious, imagining successful cartoon characters that are like commodified brands in the world of commercial art.
