About This Item
Grand Central Press / Last Gasp, 2015. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dustjacket as Issued. 11x11x0. In Very Good+ condition. Brief inscription by previous owner. Camille Rose Garcia (born November 18, 1970) is a California-based lowbrow/pop surrealism artist. She produces paintings in a gothic, "creepy" cartoon style. She cites as influences Walt Disney and Philip K. Dick. Her world is a beautiful place. It is the ballroom of an Empire, a forest of aquamarine jewels, a place where cream-layered cakes, crystal castles and opiate abundance serve to sedate the masses. but as the telescope retracts, the glossy veneer of privilege falls away to reveal another reality. Machine guns and machetes decorate the landscape alongside exploding poppies. Deer and princesses land in a cloud of malaise and disbelief becomes the ether of the living. Camille Rose Garcia draws inspiration for her creepy dystopias from her upbringing in the generic suburbs of Orange County. Her disenchantment with society brought her into a world of subversive art and music. Garcia's work has appeared in Juxtapoz, Paper, Flaunt, and Blab and is shown at galleries throughout the United States.
