Rain Doody is a multimedia artist working mainly through sculpture and caricature. In his work, he experiments through usage of raw vs polished materials, and toes the line of the jank. He draws inspiration from acne scars, mole hairs, folds and shades of skin,
and the muppets.
“My vision is inter dimensional beings have noticed the ridiculosity in humans self-inflicted suppression. Why must everything be tiny, smooth, and minimalist? Humans are losing their most interesting parts; so they’ve infiltrated this plane to shock us back
into our factory settings.”
Growing up q***r in the 2000s, Rain explores the effect of social media on self expression and perception. He embraces the strange and unusual through texture and colour, and creates ‘perfectly janky’ works to reflect the unique delight in imperfection.
'Emergence', featuring work by seven recent UBCO BFA graduates, is on exhibition at the gallery until July 25.
