Baby-Boom Daydreams, organized by the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, features Douglas Bourgeois’s meticulously detailed paintings and sculptural assemblages which present icons of popular culture as well as everyday people from Louisiana’s diverse populations. Bourgeois’s work fuses private fantasy with a kind of social document, exploring everything from racial tensions to violence, both domestic and public. The artist, like the figures he depicts, searches for magic or spiritual qualities in everyday things. Ultimately he and his art seek redemption.
