About the artwork
Blending reality with make-belief, Auguste’s works feature real life celebrities with equally iconic fictional characters. His works often celebrate icons which have become part of our collective pop culture and history. Surrounded by superheroes and luxury brands, supermodel Kate Moss is overlaid onto a cut-out of Mickey Mouse, altering our image of the nostalgic cartoon character. Auguste used unconventional mediums such as aluminium and automotive varnish to create the work’s glossy surface. The rich colour palette and style are also reminiscent of 1960s Pop art.
