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.
