Gertrude Stein once famously wrote, “A rose is a rose is a rose,” and Jose Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros, whose exhibition “Wonder Pop,” consisting of Disney characters and well-known Pop cultural figures drawn in bright colors and recast with gay themes, might respond with “To love is to love is to love,” meaning that all creatures are equal and deserving of tolerance. This show is certainly a good time and purports its own unique brand of decadence. In Ontiveros’ world, Peter Pan smokes a crack pipe and Mickey Mouse rouses old Walt from the dead via the Ouija Board. This is the stuff of nightmares—and dreams come true—just depends on how you choose to look at it.
