Lets go to Texas, Houston to be more precise! Reagan Corbett is a young woman who is currently growing interest in the world of Art for her vision and talent.
Her main support is pop art, from a painting of Princess Diana blowing a pink bubble-gum to the famous pink donut, her inspiration is without limit.
The 27 years old Texan recent art series is called “Pixelated”.
“My most recent body of work, Pixelated, strives to create a space for emotions catered towards our increasingly digitized world. This diverse body of work offers the viewer to a more critical viewpoint regarding our society’s current state of cultural transition. The conceptualization of this vital transition emcompasses a variety of subjects, and is represented through the pixelation of iconic figures and consumer goods. It is our society’s infatuation with consumerism: technologically, physically, socially, economically and politically, that has altered our perceptions. Seeing these widely recognized icons and figures through a new lens juxtaposes the ideas of permanence and transition. Inveigled by advertisements made during the 1950’s, 60s and 70’s, I consciously select colors that employ notions of nostalgia, familiarity and comfort. The combination of pixelated transitional figures and color place a timestamp on the topics of contemporary culture.”
Check out some of her work:
And of course, say Pop Culture means Michael Jackson. Created in 2019, the Oil & Acrylic on Canvas of 36″x36″ titled “Little Michael Jackson” depicts the King of Pop in a young age with his face pixelated.
Very interesting concept.
