Chargers’ Curator Wanker comments on The Surreal McCoy’s latest work for the Convadium Gallery
Chargerica
Note Allen’s broken sword, a symbol of the Chargers’ distress at the loss of such a powerful offensive weapon.
Wanker: "The original Guernica, by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, is generally regarded as one of the great human outcries against the horrors of war. Created in response to the bombing of a Basque country village by Nazis and Fascists, its twisted, broken figures and agonized faces served as an eloquent testimony to a people’s suffering. Coach McCoy knows that San Diegans are suffering in much the same way as they watch their football stars fall from the firmament.
"First, receiver Keenan Allen — his supine posture reminiscent of his injured form as it lay on the field following his ACL injury — and then running back Danny Woodhead — flying through the air, his arms raised in surrender as his legs trail uselessly behind him, thanks to another ACL injury — and of course, linebacker Manti Te’o — grimacing as he drags his wounded Achilles behind him. Three weeks, three stars, three season-ending injuries: is it any wonder the Charger Girl on the left is staring at the heavens and screaming in anguish? Quarterback Philip Rivers can be seen gazing on his fallen comrades in pity, bearing aloft the flickering flame of hope, but he cannot help seeing the raging Bronco and Bull, symbols of Denver and Houston, bellowing in violent joy at the ruins that lay before them.
"'War is far from most San Diegans,' McCoy has stated. ‘This, this is the only horror that can undo their comfort and rouse their hearts to love.’ We shall see; the Great Vote approaches."
