About the artwork

With overlapping images in a flurry of colour, Auguste’s digital collages embody multiple facets of contemporary pop culture. His works allude to our fast-paced urban lifestyle, where viewers are constantly bombarded by visual stimuli. With an abundance of celebrities, brands and icons, individuals are spoilt for choice. The title pits the fictional Captain America against fashion mogul Karl Lagerfeld, intersected by the silhouette of Wile E. Coyote, creating a sinister dynamic. The work also incorporates elements from social media which has become an integral aspect of modern life.



About the artist

Born in 1977, French artist Auguste hails from the famed Bordeaux region of France. Though he studied disciplines other than fine arts, Auguste always felt compelled and drawn to the art world. Ultimately he followed his passion for the visual arts, finding his unique artistic vision and voice and is now known for his colorful contemporary Pop Art-inspired and nostalgia-evoking works.
Auguste terms his oeuvre “Generations” as his works revolve around a central theme of pop culture icons from the past. Conjuring memories of previous eras, his pieces depict celebrities, super heroes and other iconic figures, in conjunction with American and French marks to provide the viewer with a reminiscent glimpse of past epochs.
