In this vibrant reinterpretation of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, Horvath subtly evokes the iconic Yellow Brick Road through the use of yellow paper and paint. Alongside Dorothy, the Tin Man, Wicked Witch, and Ruby Slippers make their appearances, while stenciled images of Snow White and Minnie Mouse add a playful touch. A pink, silver, and black tattoo under Dorothy’s eye further intensifies the work’s layered, eclectic feel. Fragments of the Wizard of Oz film poster are paired with a black-and-white street poster portrait that nods to drag queen culture, adding a contemporary edge. The piece is completed with a dynamic blend of dripped paint, fluorescent streaks, and bold sprays across the bottom edge, infusing the composition with energy and color.
