Camille Rose Garcia’s
impressive art, which floats in the limbo between fairy tales and
gothic horror,
belongs to the underground art movement called Pop Surrealism or Lowbrow. Garcia’s paintings, sculptures, and prints,
which are bittersweet and grotesque yet hauntingly beautiful, represent the
artist’s personal childhood memories, warm and nostalgic, mixed with the
counterculture of Los Angeles, which was somewhat ominous and violent,
drug-ridden world. At the same time, Garcia’s surreal gothic imagery and her
dark humor admired by the worldwide audience raise multiple questions about
basic existential and human values.
