C-lective Curator’s Cut:

Evan Hobart’s Anti Hero continues his exploration of humanity’s imprint on the world, rendered here in stark, all-white ceramic. The sculpture takes the form of a dinosaur head, its surface etched with classic American symbols—stars, stripes, and fragments of the flag—while tiny tanks crawl across its scales and atop the White House that perches precariously on its crown. The juxtaposition of this iconic architecture with the primeval form and miniature military machines creates a tense, surreal commentary on power, legacy, and national identity. Every mark on the surface—every scale, emblem, and indentation—carries Hobart’s meticulous attention to craft, transforming a playful, almost fantastical image into a meditation on the outsized influence of institutions and human activity over both history and the natural world.
