“American monsters are ubiquitous in our popular culture,” the gallery says. “They loom large in film, comix, and video games, and they even haunt our political landscapes. These monsters inhabit our shared dreams and collective nightmares. They provide the artist with potent metaphors, which can be used and re-imagined in a way that provides commentary on our culture. These new demons make up the iconography of America’s shadow self.”

Tara McPherson Presents New Works in “The Difference Between Here and There”

Brooklyn based artist Tara McPherson, first featured in our Collected 3 Edition, is constantly visiting and exploring new themes and iconography in her art.

Marcelo Monreal Cuts Open Pop Culture Icons to Reveal Inner Beauty

Based in Santa Catarina, Brazil, collage artist Marcelo Monreal's work is going viral for his different take on inner beauty. His latest works cut open the portraits of celebrities in Photoshop, super models and other faces of pop culture that are otherwise stagnant, to reveal beautiful blooms underneath. Monreal's use of floral motifs stems (no pun intended) from his first job as an artist, developing embroidery for a label factory. His imagery is in a similar vein to that of the spliced vintage photographs of Matthieu Bourel, covered here, and Rocío Montoya's manipulated, experimental photos. While his subjects are uniquely contemporary, Monreal shares the same sense of bizarre humor that combines the morbid with abstracted glamour.
