Pop! Pop! - A Review

This past Saturday I ventured over to Pink Ghost - a Ft. Lauderdale-based store that sells vinyl toys, art books and magazines- for their opening of Pop! Pop! - a collection of low brow paintings and drawings representing aspects of modern 'pop' culture.

Though each artist invoked 'pop' in their own individualistic way, the collection - as a whole - was fun and playful. But two artists stood out.

The first: Helena Garcia. Her paintings were feminine, colorful and all around adorable! She had three pieces displayed, which focused on the fashion styles of: Berlin, Bogota, and Tokyo.

The second: Justin Rose. His paintings focused on the reshaping of popular fairy tales by adding elements associated with death, such as skulls and ghosts.

All in all, the entire show was innovative and cheeky. I definitely recommend checking it out before it closes in July. But, if you can't make it, check out the rest of the show here.
