We are used to seeing their faces in everyday life, on social media feeds, television or just walking down the street. But now UK artist Miss Bugs has put their own spin on some of the most famous people on the planet. So please look closely.
About
algorithms will be British mixed media artists Miss Bugs’ largest solo show to date, running from Thursday 5th – Friday 13th September at 545 West 23rd Street, New York City.
The show presents a series of sculptural portraits of the world’s most famous people – including President Barack Obama, former First Lady Jackie Onassis, Queen Elizabeth II, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé – each of whom has been individually remixed by the ‘visual DJs’.
The vibrantly coloured portraits have been painstakingly constructed from a curated assortment of mass-produced objects –suspended in resin; from pharmaceuticals and Lego minifigures to photographic cuttings of presidents, Hollywood celebrities, cartoon characters and serial killers.
These intricate, three-dimensional collages invite the viewer to delve under the hood of popular culture and to dissect the multiple layers of content that assail and sometimes overwhelm modern consumers during our every waking moment.
