Situated within the familiar iconography of commercial advertising resides a faint but residual reminder of an older art historical continuum. Conflating traditional modes of representation, oil paint, canvas, charcoal, and commercial applications such as pinstriping, screen printing, and airbrush, my work aims to reconcile the copious and often contradictory accumulation of images; nineteenth century botanical illustrations comingle with pop stars and consumer products, Mannerist contortions alongside fashion editorials, Memento Mori symbols within children’s cartoons. The fusion of scavenged popular iconography into fantastical hybrids further dislocates the familiar, rendering the contemporary historic. Arrangements of patterns and symmetry recall Byzantium icon painting, and like a Rorschach’s test, reflect underlying tensions of our collective obsessions.
