Camille Rose Garcia




Camille Rose Garcia is an artist who is part of the Lowbrow movement, a movement that finds its roots in the Pop Art of the 60’s. Her highly stylised pieces mix graffiti symbols and drips of paint with cute, cartoon like people that usually carry a satirical twisted edge. Her dark and unsettling depictions are accentuated by the juxtaposition of bold colours. I especially enjoy her Creepcake’s Bakery series that depicts an alien race assaulting a town through the use of tasty sedative snacks! It makes a satirical comment on today’s society especially in America, a recurring theme in her work. Her work is becoming well known and highly sought after. I especially like her print works.
