The drawings of Dominic Paul Moore

"Put This in Your Mouth" features Chicago artist Dominic Paul Moore's graphite depictions of images culled from medical advertisements, modified according to his memories of the sterile hospital environment as an asthmatic child and the son of a respiratory therapist. Moore's stark and simplistic compositions often replace the ads' humane medical assistants with cold yet anthropomorphous machines, exploiting the cinematic qualities of these source materials to subvert their original intent. Moore's sinister scenes lead the viewer to question medical care and wonder whether the supposedly safe and reliable hospital establishment is as innocent as it may seem—are these care-givers prolonging life or taking it? -SlantArt Chicago
