Neither man nor monster, contemporary UK artist Galzilla
- a self-professed “image eater”
- works an insightful, twenty-first century social commentary into her eye-catching art. Exploring the cult of the consumer, Galzilla brings the themes of 1960s Pop-Art up-to-date, with an attention to pop culture, social media, & the internet, using collage techniques & pastiche styles to evoke the socio-political concerns of today. In cute, illustrative style, ‘ Addicted to You
- Teal’ depicts a pill capsule, one half in a soft teal shade, the other left see-through to reveal a cluster of tiny, red, heart-shaped balloons, floating inside. A clever commentary on the twenty-first century mediation of desire through consumables
- not to mention an obsession with over-medicating
- ‘ Addicted to You
- Teal’ is smart, sassy & striking. One thing is certain
- we’re in love with this drug.
