Ailerons and fuselage. \nTheir hollow bones will be broken and poisoned by beasts created in thei r image.” \n                                                                                                               -Campbell McLean \n  \nCampbell McLean explores her queer-American experience by creating caricaturist paintings\, objects\, installations\, and videos. From oil on canvas\, papier-mâché to found object\, McLean ’s unique aesthetic approach shines through in her sporadic ‘make-due ’ energy that flows seamlessly between 2D and 3D forms. The resulting wo rks are immersive and modular series and installations that read as both s pecific and universalizing\, personal and relatable. \n  \nIn War-Birds & Adverts\, the artist’s installation for the 301 Frame Gallery\, McLean incorporates themes of patriotism\, camp\, nostalgia\, and caricature as a generalized and vague criticism of the time and space we are living in no w. Campbell’s use of humor and the appropriation of a thinly veiled spec tacle\, seek to critique a multitude of cultural and contemporary concerns \, including\, isolation\, screen time\, self-commodification\, sloganeeri ng\, sex\, death\, war\, ‘the art market’. As McLean comments\, “Can I really not talk about that terrible ‘thing’ at an institutional gal lery?” How are the birds doing? Didn’t you hear?! It’s all for sale! Call my gallerist! 978 495 6697. \n  \nCampbell-Lynn McLean is a Boston- based artist and a 2022 graduate from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) BFA program. McLean is currently pursuing her MFA in pai nting at Boston University\, Class of 2027. She has received numerous awar ds and scholarships in recognition of her works\, including the Stephen D. Paine Scholarship in 2021\, the George Nick Award in 2022\, and the Josep h Ablow Memorial Prize in 2026. Since 2024\, she has presented a solo exhi bition\, included in three group exhibitions\, and two art fairs with LaiS un Keane\, Boston\, MA.
