About the artwork
Ku - Auguste employs unconventional materials and techniques such as aluminium, photo manipulation and automotive varnish to create this mixed media collage. Set in the streets of New York City, this surreal composition unites real and fictional icons from vastly different character universes. It breaks such boundaries to form an amalgamated vision of contemporary pop culture, in the unique style of glamour pop. The dense image contains multiple layers superimposed on top of one another, blurring the lines between celebrities, cartoons, superheroes and icons.
